http://kuso.cc/4!o0 BRUSSELS -- Just 16 months away from tennis was enough for Justine Henin. She'll return in January ahead of the Australian Open, complete with a new serve in her quest for a Wimbledon title. It's the only Grand Slam that Henin didn't win in a 10-year career that produced nearly $20 million in earnings. Henin's goal is to achieve 70-percent success on her first serves. That improvement, along with her daunting whip backhand, will have opponents scrambling. "We said that perhaps, one day, we will get there," Henin said Wednesday at a news conference, a day after announcing her comeback. "I am not [tall], so technically it has to be perfect." At 5 feet, 6 inches, accuracy and consistency on her first serve had been a problem. With more than three months before her first competitive match, she has time to retool her serve. "Justine is convinced we can reconstruct her serve," coach Carlos Rodriguez said. "We have time." A powerful serve is especially essential to dominate on the grass of Wimbledon, and it will complement the rest of her solid game. "The balance between things is what makes Justine what she is -- power, explosiveness, endurance, coordination, intuitiveness," Rodriguez said. That balance also applies to her personal life. Henin said the yearlong break has given her more confidence to become a leader and provided a broader outlook on life after serving as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. On the comeback trail, the former No. 1 player will clash again with fellow Belgian Kim Clijsters, who won the U.S. Open this month just three tournaments into her comeback after more than two years away. "It is a source of inspiration and motivation," Henin said. "I have come to realize that I would not have been this strong if she had not been there at the time." Henin defeated Clijsters to win three of her first four Grand Slam titles in 2003-2004. "Justine's comeback is extremely good news for women's tennis, but even better for Belgium in general," Clijsters said in a statement. Henin wants to play at least until the 2012 London Olympics. By then, she hopes to have won Wimbledon -- the only Grand Slam title missing on her resume of four French Open titles, two U.S. Opens and one Australian Open championship. She won singles gold at the 2004 Athens Games. Henin expects to play exhibition tournaments in Charleroi, Belgium, and Dubai to hone her skills ahead of a competitive return at the Australian Open. Sydney tournament organizers are hoping Henin will play there before the season-opening Grand Slam. Her announced return to Melbourne Park was warmly greeted by Australian Open officials. "Any time you can welcome a past champion on a comeback trail it's an opportunity you would never want to miss," tournament director Craig Tiley said. "We would love Justine to be a part of the Australian Open again." == http://kuso.cc/4!o1 海宁赛场内外寻求平衡 将携新发球武器重返澳洲 「也许有一天，我会实现一发成功率到70%的目标。」宣布复出後一天，海宁 在周三的新闻发布会上说道：「我并不高大，所以必须在技术方面做到完美。」 7个大满贯冠军、1枚奥运会单打金牌、长达两年多的世界第一排名，这些璀 璨的荣誉仍旧无法满足比利时人海宁，她的退役时间仅仅持续了16个月。明年一月 的澳网，昔日单反女皇将回归职业网坛，她将带着改进过後的发球武器为了至今缺 少的那个温网王冠而奋斗。 在其长达10年、创造了接近2000万比赛奖金的职业生涯里，海宁唯一缺少的荣 誉就是草地大满贯的冠军。这次回归赛场，前世界第一表示自己的目标是把一发成 功率提高到70%之上，这样犀利的发球再加上那无与伦比的单反，足以让所有对手为 之胆寒。 「也许有一天，我会实现这个目标。」宣布复出後一天，海宁在周三的新闻发 布会上说道：「我并不高大，所以必须在技术方面做到完美。」 对於身高只有5英尺6的海宁来说，一发的精准和稳定性在此前一直是令人头疼 的问题。但距离她重返赛场还有3个多月的时间，海宁有大把的机会来改进发球。 「贾斯汀很有把握我们可以重新组建她的发球，」长期教练罗德里格斯说：「 我们有时间。」 强力的发球对於草场来说至关重要，而且也能使得海宁更加全面，罗德里格斯 继续说：「各方面的平衡是贾斯汀的特点：力量、爆发力、耐久力、协调能力等等。 」 除了球场之外，海宁在私人生活里也重新找到了平衡，她表示自己在远离网坛 的一年中重拾自信，并且从联合国儿童基金会大使一职中体验到生活的不同一面。 在回归後，海宁不可避免的将要再次遭遇到老对手克里斯特尔斯。 「对我来说和吉母的竞争是种激励和动力，」海宁说：「我发觉如果不是她一 直在赛场上和我抗衡，自己也不会有现在的实力和成就。」 海宁的计划是最起码打到2012年的伦敦奥运会，届时，她希望自己已经拿到了 温网冠军，实现全满贯的成就。她将按照计划在家乡比利时和迪拜参加两项表演赛， 随後在明年的澳网正式复出。 悉尼公开赛的组委会非常期待海宁能选择那里作为澳网热身的地点。昔日世界 第一复出的消息也令澳网组委会兴奋不已：「任何时候，欢迎过去的冠军回归赛场 都是我们不想错过的，我们真高兴贾斯汀能重新成为澳网公开赛的一部分。」 === 哇 七成的一发 我可以先期待一下吗?XDDD --
