http://www.henin-hardenne.be/bin/index.asp?lang=en US OPEN 2005: OPPONENT DATA Rd #2 31/08/2005: Justine's second round opponent is Spain's Maria Sanchez Lorenzo, a WTA tour veteran, Fed Cup team, and 2004 Olympic participant. Bio Maria Sanchez Lorenzo is currently ranked with the WTA at 99, and 76 with the Porsche race to the yearly championships. Date of Birth November 7, 1977. Height 5'7 1/2'' (1.71 m), Weight 130 lbs. (59 kg) and plays right-handed (two-handed both sides). She has 1 WTA title. Her best season was 2003-2004, and was regularly in Tier II events. Her best tournaments were round of 64 at Tier II's and Tier I's in those two years. Sanchez Lorenzo is a familiar face to Spanish tennis fans with her good looks, and personality. She has been a part of the Spanish Fed Cup squad for many years. Her highest WTA ranking was 33 in April 5, 2004. Sanchez Lorenzo is mainly seen in the Tier III and IV tournaments nowadays. Solid, but lacking a big serve, or a unique arsenal of shots; her game is based on consistency. There has been good results on clay in the Tier III events years ago, and grass courts too due to her good movement, low to the ground shots ,and sliced two-handed backhanders on both sides. Sanchez Lorenzo has simply been over powered by the harder pace, and bigger hitting of younger players recently with her lighter body frame. There was a very big moment for the Spaniard in knocking out the slumping defending Roland Garros champion Anastasia Myskina back in May at round one. This infamous win is the best of her career. Head to head against Justine Justine has played Maria Sanchez Lorenzo twice, and defeated her both times. Once on grass in the Netherlands in 2003 at the Ordina Open 6-4 6-3, and in 2000 during the qualifying round at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix on indoor hardcourt 6-3 7-5 in Germany.
