Henin glows

Justine Henin visited the tennis center today and, for someone who got almost no sleep in the last two days with all the nervous energy of a Grand Slam quest, she looked perfectly rested and content.
I have covered her for years now, and she was always cautious and guarded. It was difficult to read her, and anything about her personally was totoally off limits. Now, henin explains that she wasn’t really happy, and if you’re not happy it’s hard to want to let people in and see that.
Things have changed. A divorce and reconciliation with her family, along with some dark nights of the soul, have given her a lot to be proud of. Sometimes a player can open up and it seems scripted, but with Henin it feels totally genuine. It makes it easier to appreciate the player, not just the game.
