If Justine Henin didn't retire, could she beat Ana Ivanovic or Dinara Safina (depend on her draw) for the?

Question

French Open title?

Answer 1

Henin would be the best if she did not retire. She would beat them.

Answer 2

Unlike Nadal, Henin was starting to get her *** kicked. I doubt she would have won it this year . Her heart was simply not in it.

Answer 3

nah Safina could not beat her. Safina would not have even beat Jankovic- I really wanted her to win. This was a really good chance for her. I think Venus may pull off another Wimbledon title next month. She owns that grass.

I think Ana would've beat Henin this year though- she learned a lot last year and has been getting by easily even against the best players lately

Answer 4

Yes of course Henin would have won the title again.  Notice how during the two weeks of the tournament she kept on being mentioned and talked about by analysts, press and even by players themselves about Henin's wins the past years and how she would do if she played.  Henin was No.1 going into French Open, but it wasn't just ranking but in her play and style, and it's the kind that wins against the tour.

Answer 5

Yes. Justine loves French Open, I think she'd give her all to win the title once again. Too bad she retired.

Answer 6

yes she would win

Answer 7

Yes. But not if she had lost that motivation. Henin if in the same frame of mind from the year before would thrash everyone else especially on clay. Henin is still the best and Ivanovic has much to do to get anywhere near her. I hope Justine returns at some point. It would also be great to see Kim Clijsters back-She is still a top 3 player.

Answer 8

easily

Answer 9

She definitely has the talent, the best backhand on the women's side..but to beat Ivanovic she would have had to have her heart completely into her performance and be mentally tough consistently. She definitely loves the sport enough, you can tell just by listening to her press conferences. She is a great player and I miss watching her play already.

Answer 10

No. Henin's been struggling since the start of the year. I don't think she would've won the French. If she was in Sharapova's place in the draw I think based on her form this season she would've lost to either Safina or Kuznetsova (who she's said many times was her toughest opponent on clay).

Answer 11

If she didn't retire, she will easily beat Ana, but had to work hard to beat Dinara.
