http://www.henin-hardenne.be/bin/index.asp?lang=en ROGERS CUP: Justine's winning return to the scene 18/08/2005: Justine won her first match played since the rare early round exit at Wimbledon two months ago. She defeated Argentine Mariana Diaz-Oliva 6-1, 6-3 in a 2nd rounder that displayed a few bits of rust, but mainly showcased the confidence of a player aware of her craft. The match started out fairly simple for Justine, and she dashed out to a clean 2-0 lead. Not showing much of the edgy demeanor, which popped up this spring in her first round matches at other tournaments, Diaz-Oliva only manages 1 game in this first set. Justine put constant pressure on every ball hit by the Argentine, and the short replies did Diaz-Oliva no favours. Diaz-Oliva did play some good points, but it simply wasn't on the same gear as Justine's Formula 1 level of tennis. In 33 minutes the first set was over at 6-1. The second set featured more of Justine, and her dominance in a gear far above the norm. Diaz-Oliva showed the courage, and fighting attitude that has brought Argentina many rewards. Diaz-Oliva took advantage of backhand errors, and a few bits of uncompromising 2nd serves played like first serves at 160 km from the Belgian to halt matchpoints from 5-1. She may play Formula 1 level tennis, but Justine is human, and not a machine, errors on set points do happen. Justine finally converted matchpoint at 6-3 in 41 minutes. Final score 6-1, 6-3 Justine's next round opponent will be Jie Zheng, one of the recent new faces to brighten the WTA from China, and the winner of Hobart earlier in the season. Zheng defeated Ai Sugiyama earlier today 2-6, 7-6(8), 6-3. This will be the first career meeting between Justine and Zheng. Stay tuned for more match time details for Justine's next round. --
