Justine Henin the former world no. 1 who shocked the world when she suddenly decided to retire when she is world no. 1 because she said she was exhausted and did not enjoy tennis as much as before and wanted to do something else. But tennis is still her passion as she has decided to return to the scenes.

One thing however, is that she is not affected much by Kim Clijsters that made her come back. Some actually thought that Kim Clijsters had inspired her return ha but in fact her Henin's coach said it was not the case. Her return is because that she wants to play tennis and wants to have the moment again.

Kim Clijster's win however has made her believe that she can come back in top form.

The many different interesting sports a sports lover can go for

As a sports lover, I will always like to be kept abreast of the news of the different interesting sports and of course when I have the time will definitely want to watch it if it happens to be one of those highly anticipated game.

At such games for example like hockey the new york rangers tickets will be my choice of selection as their matches against other hockey teams are often exciting to watch. The fans sometimes is another factor that will make the game more lively especially when they are there to cheer aloud for the team. If I am looking for another indoor game to watch, basketball boston celtic tickets could be a good buy. Basketball matches are usually so packed in actions that one has to take away fast breaths to get ready for the next point scored.


Next for a totally almost different kind of sport that is outdoor i want to go i will probably have to get the master tickets. In golf matches, the settings will totally be different from the two indoor games mentioned as spectators cannot cheer while the golfers are playing and the scenery of the venue will be so much more beautiful. Sometimes as a sports lover, you will not only get to enjoy the different kinds of games but also have a feel of the different settings the games are played.

The young tennis player Caroline Woznacki runner-up of the US Open, a prestigious game where many great players gathered together to play and to win the match. It is also one of the games where there is large sum of prize money (of course all tennis games have large sum of prize money but the prize for that game is relatively more than most).

The story here is not about Caroline winning another great tennis player or getting to the finals. This time she was kind of deemed to be as deliberately pulling out from the game. She withdrew from her first-round match in this week's Luxembourg Open against the veteran local player Anne Kremer when leading 7-5, 5-0. This caught many attention especially the governing body as to see whether she should receive a penalty.

But well such things are pretty difficult to say, but if she is really injured then the player should consider many other things and to see whether she wants to continue the game. The choice is ultimately hers and if she feels she shouldn't continue then she should rest.
