http://www.henin-hardenne.be/bin/showdiary.asp?lang=en&id=155 Justine's Diary - After Roland Garros 2006 15/06/2006: Hello Everyone, I returned home on Monday, and recovered slowly from all those emotions. It took two to three days to catch my breath from the excitement. I went back to training on Wednesday and will do racquet practice at Eastbourne. These two last weeks were extraordinary - from beginning to the end. I really savoured this victory, and handled it better than others in the past. I had less pressure in my mind because I knew that it's only one victory, and there are more dates of reckoning. I finished this grand slam physically well, not too much fatigued; this is important for the rest of the season. Obviously, I know that this (GS) created an extraordinary stir in Belgium. I again thank you for much support. A lot of people were behind me that didn't say " It's only the fifth grand slam. It's not that big of a deal, meaningless". I think that everyone experienced it in a very intense way, I felt it too, and you lifted me. To win it in two sets, and to defend my title meant a lot to me in my eyes, but there are still other objectives. The season is not over. In regards to the two principal objectives: health and the qualification for Wta year end championships (Masters). Things are going in a good direction, and this is very important. I leave for Eastbourne, England on Friday morning. I will try to find my form starting on Friday. In fact, new adventures await me. I hope the sequences to follow won't be too difficult. I'm leaving early to find my feelings, and sensations for grass. I never played at Eastbourne before. I'm excited to be going there for the first time. My health situation has prevented me to go there in the past. It feels good to get back on court, and into competition quickly as possible. And as usual I will give it my best. About Fed Cup. I do have the desire, and the will to play there, more than ever. After what I experienced in April at Liege I want to continue the adventure, but I cannot promise my presence right now. It will depend on my results in these next weeks. My physical condition after Wimbledon, and state that I finish it. Even if there are no problems, with my health there are still things which I must be careful with, in particular my knees. To play on grass then go directly onto hardcourt is difficult, and stressful on the body. So, I cannot guarantee Fed Cup. I will undoubtedly make my decision only after Wimbledon. I hope with my heart that I can take part in Ostend on July the 15 and 16, but I prefer not to commit myself then disappoint later. I still thank you for all the support that you brought to me, and I will have a rendezvous with you after Wimbledon. See you soon, Justine --
