WIMBLEDON FINAL - 8TH JULY 2001
After waiting until Sunday to finally get on centre court due to rain delays on Saturday, Justine lost to Venus Williams in this 3 set match. The second set gave us hope when Justine came back into the match to win the set beautifully, but sadly Williams just played better on the day and there was no stopping her in the final set. Rain stopped play just once for 15 minutes. Justine said she hoped to come back next year and win. The final result was 6-1 3-6 6-0
The Daily Express reported..."It was a great moment for me to come back in the second set," said Henin. "But it was difficult after that because mentally she was stronger than me, she had the experience that I did not have. Her serve was unbelievable all the match. I think it is amazing on a grass court. It was so fast with a lot of precision. I think she can win Wimbledon a lot with a serve like that."
