It was bravery and intuitive tennis that propelled Miss Henin. The quest continues on Friday against Marion Bartoli in the semi-finals. The Frenchwoman was the victor over Jelena Jankovic in the 4th round, and Michaela Krajicek in the quarterfinal. The battle started out ferociously with Williams aiming at Justine's elegant neck in the first point. Out to present something more to Henin than assumptions and stereotypes, Williams showed unusual delicate shots with fine execution. The American's serves throughout the match were in the 120 mph levels, but the Belgian's dexerity vanquished Williams in the last two games of the set. Justine won the only breakpoint, and the set 6-4. Williams went for a more spartan approach in the second set, and rocked for massive American power hitting, and forceful play. The swirls of wind repeatedly kept the odd miss hit, and wayward shots into center court much to amused audience murmurs. Justine was unable to handle turbulance, and with anxiety conceded the second set 3-6. The rains failed to emerge as the heavens decided to let this particular match go uninterupted. Justine soared to a 5-1 lead, but lost her focus as Williams vetoed against a finish to the match. The world #1 went from imperfection to perfection after losing her first match point with a woeful volley to a sublime drop shot, and launched for a second match point. Final Score 6-4 3-6 6-3 in 1hr 45 mins --
