http://0rz.tw/L7Stp 來自WTA官網的新聞 Ju 即將打破紀錄~ PARIS, France - One of the most dominant clay court players of all time stepped back onto her greatest stage and, like always, was nothing short of awesome. Facing an opponent who was really on her game, Justine Henin was better, beating Tsvetana Pironkova in a high-quality two-setter, 64 63. (謎：high quality??) Henin had played the big-hitting Pironkova three times before and had struggled against her, rallying from a set and 3-1 down to win their last match, on her home turf in Antwerp two years ago. And the Bulgarian really did take it to her again in Paris, belting her big groundstrokes and running down anything she could. But Henin had a phenomenal winners-to-errors ratio - 31 to 19 - and each time things got close, the former world No.1 kicked it up a gear. "I was feeling very happy just to be on center court. It's something I wasn't expecting again," Henin said after her first match in Paris since 2007. "From when I woke up until when I was walking onto the court, I didn't really know what to expect and how I was going to deal with my emotions. At that time, I felt like I had never played on that court, even though I've played on it so many times. "As soon as I walked in and was into the match, I felt a lot of things coming back. It was fantastic to share this again with the crowd as once again they gave me great support. It was an honor for me to be scheduled on center court." Henin came back to the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour at the beginning of the season and has since worked her way back to No.23 in the world - she is the No.22 seed here, given the withdrawal of countrywoman Kim Clijsters. But many would rightfully place her as one of the favorites for the French Open title, even the favorite, given her previous results on the terre battue. (這段說得真好=ˇ=) Tuesday's win against Pironkova was Henin's 22nd straight win at Roland Garros, with 21 in a row coming between 2005 and 2007, her three straight titles here - the only woman in the Open Era to take three straight apart from Monica Seles. Henin also won the 2003 title, making it four titles total. Also, she has now won 37 straight sets at the tournament - the longest streak in the Open Era and three away from Helen Wills Moody's all-time record of 40. (目前在法網22場連勝中，且是自 Seles 後唯一實現三連冠選手 除了22場連勝，目前也是連勝37盤，是開放時代來單項賽事最長盤數連勝紀錄 距離全女子紀錄 Helen Wills Moody 創下的40盤連勝僅有3盤之遙 也就是 這項紀錄極有可能在本週就被打破 →第二輪二盤勝 Zakopalova 及第三輪二盤勝 Sharapova 或 Flipkens) (謎：Navratilova 在溫網的47場連勝...Orz 遠得很) Henin is now 36-4 at Roland Garros - an amazing 90% winning percentage. (目前在法網保有單項賽事90%勝率的超高紀錄) Next up for Henin will be Klara Zakopalova, who beat Katarina Srebotnik in a see-saw three-setter, 76(3) 46 62. The pair has never played before. (下一輪要對上首次交鋒的捷克紅土暴走女 Zakopalova) --
