The Henin fan who propelled Serena to Oz Open win

The Henin fan who propelled Serena to Oz Open winLondon, Feb. 1 : Serena Williams takes some time to blow her fuse, but when she does, at least on court, the devastation is there for all to see.

Williams won her 12th major title on Saturday night, and credited a Justine Henin fan for her eventual 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 victory in the Australian Open.

According to the Daily Express, in the second set of the three-set match, Serena struggled to deal with Henin’s all-out attack. But when a fan of Henin shouted ‘You can beat her Justine, she’s not that good’, Williams said: “I looked at him and I was like, ‘You don’t know me’. I won all the games after that because that’s totally rude.”

Rude or not, the Henin supporters had proof that she was still able to compete with the best.

“I’m disappointed,” she said. “But it cannot take away from all the things I’ve done in the last few weeks.” (ANI)
