On the edge of tears, she could fight no more, and retired the match in the second set 0-2 to Amelie Mauresmo. The match started with Amelie on serve, and then Justine dropping 4 of her service games. The Frenchwoman directed all of her shots to the Belgian's forehand. The unforced errors were flying left, and right from Justine. Things were unravelling for the Australian Open 2004 champion, as coach Carlos signalled for Justine to stop the match. Amelie confidently marched to take the set 1-6. A very somber mood cloaked Rod Laver Arena, as they nervously awaited the return of Justine, from a mini bathroom break before the start of the second set. Justine started on serve, and asked the chair umpire for a medical timeout. The Belgian was unwell, with stomach, and headache problems. Justine was back on court, and after trying to play two games, she was unable to give anymore to the match. The final score 1-6 0-2 retired. "I'm feeling very disappointed for sure to end the tournament this way," explained Justine with tightened voice, and tears. "I am feeling very sick and I couldn't stay longer and continue so I'm sorry about that. It is impossible to play thus. I make a point of congratulating Am?lie for its first title in Large Slam, until it waits since so many years. Thank you for your support, thank you with my coach, my entourage and the next year ," concluded a sad, disappointed Justine. After three wonderful weeks full of happiness, fantastic, and breathtaking tennis, Justine had no choice, but to leave the final match. It's the way of sports; beauty and suffering are never far from each other.
