Henin set to retire?

It seems likely that Henin is going to announce her retirement later today! Am i the only person who is stunned by this news? I know she has had injury problems recently but i didn't expect this! A sad day for women's tennis...

I think shes silly to retire now, she clearly has her reasons but shes at the top of her game. Yes she has suffered some set backs but afew more years could see her achieve alot more, like winning wimbledon which she never did but clearly has the talent to do. Doesnt make much sense to me.

Sorry for sounding pompous and normally wouldn't slate someone because of the quality of their written English, but...

Fantastic news - looking forward to seeing some Henin - Clijsters battles next year.

Justine is not Kim , who is very much stronger.
Justine has to train to a very extreme standard to reach top class.
Of course there are not many really top players and now the William sisters are fading even after saving themselves for the slams.
I truly do not see Justine coming back to her old form regrettably as I was an admirer , watching her beat all the big hitters, I lost interest in womens tennis after her retirement.

Well, we'll see how she comes back. She's not been out for that long, she went out at the top of the game, and with her competitive nature, she won't come back unless she feels she can complete the unfinished business of winning Wimbledon. With what we've seen in Women's Tennis over the summer, there is definitely room for a fighter.

Watching the last Wimbledon final it looked to me that she would have beaten either finalist comfortably, as was one of worst finals I can recall , but I have some doubts about her ability to get into her very best shape again.
