http://www.henin-hardenne.be/bin/index.asp?lang=en Les 12 Victoires 02/02/2006: There were 12 victories. Justine did not win the final prize, but her journey over the three week period gave us the full gamut of emotions from happiness, awe, inspiration, anxiety, sadness, and hope. Justine, we thank you! PREMIERE VICTORY - True victories Wednesday January 11, 2006 Justine was welcomed by the kids of Westmead Hospital in Sydney. Life victories beyond the court, quiet battles won outside of the public eye are real, and more sublime than any tennis match. It's a reminder, and a part of Justine's life that she holds true as a promise to herself, and in memory to her mother. It's happiness shared between a champion of tennis, and young champions who fight day after day. SECOND VICTORY - Departure to Australia Tuesday January 3 There were doubts until the very day of departure for Justine. Was she truly ready to finish matches after being out of action since October 2005. Was her hamstring injury healed? The mood is optimistic, refreshing, happy for Justine, and supporters. She's back. THIRD VICTORY - Justine beats Martina Hingis Monday January 9 The Medibank International tournament in Sydney. The absolute moment for tennis purists, and the most surprising first round match-up in years. Two of the current generation's most gifted players clashed. Martina Hingis, on a comeback, and hungry for tennis wins again, and Justine. Electric charisma from both players, Justine in her first win since the US Open 3rd round back in September 2005 defeated Martina 6-3 6-3. FOURTH VICTORY - To play without pain. Justine proclaimed this is the first time in 8-9 months that she had played a match without her hamstring injury. It's a fantastic moment for Justine unleashed on court in full flight once more without worry or anxiety. --
