Shocking! She could at least carry on for a few months for the French and Wimbledon.. .finish it off properly.. to just go into a press conference and announce retirement without pre-warning isquite shocking.

Last three, plus one other time. Twice the australian, and once the US. I think she won the season ending tourney twice, and has finished the year as number 1 three times.

I'm not a lover of flat chest, but then there's a few women I don't like either.  Not to take anything away from her achievements - fantastic player, like Fedex, but no personality!

I'll be curious if we find out there's another reason beyond her lack of passion in the next few months.  I certainly didn't see it coming either, and the women's game will miss her.

No, I'm sorry, I will not play ping pong with you.

Not all players love to play the sport, Gaudio is a perfect example (though Henin may have lost a taste for competition as well as the passion).  Shame since she's one of the few women's players with any variety.

If at first you don't succeed, you fail.

Sometimes I lose the taste for playing. It happens to everyone.
