http://www.justine-henin.be/public/index.asp?lang=en AO 2008 - The Heat Is On 13/01/2008: It's a day before the start of the 2008 Australian Open, Justine arrived to Melbourne from her Sydney triumph on Saturday. She had an opportunity to practice on Rod Laver Arena earlier today (Sunday) then met with the international media to discuss her views and feelings about the big return to Australia and the first major of the new year. Missing Australia "Well, you tell me. I don't know. Yeah, it's just great to be back here in Melbourne. I left Melbourne with a strange feeling two years ago and wasn't here last year. I missed it a lot. I love Australia. I love to play here. It's a tournament that brought me a lot of joy in the past. So it's great. I'm feeling healthy. I'm feeling happy. It's just a great feeling to be here again." Visualization & Enjoyment "Every time I walk on the court before a match, I imagine how it would feel if I win and how it would feel if I lose, because I know anything can happen. It's great, you know. But numbers are not the most important thing. I'm here to give my best. You all have to start again in every match. You need to be at your best. I always say little details make a big difference. A Grand Slam is tough. It's long. So I don't know what's going to happen for me in the next two weeks. I can tell you it's great what's happening to me. I don't want to take it as an extra pressure. I have enough like this. So I just try to enjoy my tennis, that's the key for me." One Match At A Time "I have a lot of confidence because I won in Sydney. When you win, that gives a lot of confidence. But in another way I know my opponents are there and they want the same thing and there is a lot of concurrence. So, I'll go match after match. I don't want to look too far. I'm just really focused on what's going to happen tomorrow, and that's it now for me." The Thrill Of The Unknown "It's going to be -- it's open. It's going to be an interesting tournament. First Grand Slam in the season is always a bit special because you never know what to expect. You don't know if you're in good shape or if you still need a little bit of time to be at your best. A lot of things can happen here in Australia. We will see. We'll have answers in the next few days." Sydney -vs- Melbourne "I recovered I think pretty well. Had to travel. I traveled yesterday. Had a lot of meetings. But I could hit on the Rod Laver Arena this morning. Conditions are a bit different from what it was in Sydney. The weather is different. The ball's a little bit maybe heavier. I have more control so I like the conditions here. I thought it was a great match against Svetlana in Sydney. It was a good final, very intense, the kind of match you need before a Grand Slam. I think it's a good surface. I'm not quite sure it's a big, big difference from what it was on Rebound Ace. The color is different, for sure. Except for that, I'm not quite sure there is a big, big difference. I like the court. I like the conditions. That's good." -- 第三段蛮不错的 --
