Biography:

Justine Henin (born 1 June 1982), formerly known as Justine Henin-Hardenne (2002–2007), is a retired professional Belgian tennis player and former World No. 1.

Henin won 43 WTA singles titles and seven Grand Slam singles titles, including four French Open titles, one Australian Open title, and two US Open titles. She has also won the year-ending Sony Ericsson Championships twice and the singles gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

Tennis experts cite her mental toughness, the completeness and variety of her game, her footspeed and footwork, and her one-handed backhand (which John McEnroe has described as the best single-handed backhand in the women's or men's game[3]) as the principal reasons for her success.[4][5]

Critics and all-time-great players have made testament to Henin's talent. Upon Henin's first retirement from the WTA in the early part of the 2008 season, Billie Jean King said that "pound for pound, Henin is the best tennis player of her generation."[6] as well as that "Justine is the best women's athlete I've ever seen."[7] Andre Agassi said of Henin, "Justine Henin is one of the most talented women ever to have played the game of tennis."[7] In 2007, 18 time Grand Slam winner Martina Navratilova said that "She is head and shoulders above everyone else right now."[7] John McEnroe concurred, saying that Henin is "The player I most like to watch."[7] Henin made a return to the WTA in early 2010, losing the final of the Australian Open in only her 2nd tournament back.[8]

On 26 January 2011, she announced that she had been forced to retire from professional tennis once again because of an elbow injury.[9]

In June 2011, she was named one of the "30 Legends of Women's Tennis: Past, Present and Future" by Time.[10]

Biography:

José Javier "Chucho" Acasuso (born October 20, 1982 in Posadas, Misiones) is a professional male tennis player from Argentina. Like many of his fellow countrymen, he favours clay. He is known for his strong serve and his hard groundstrokes off both sides. His clothes sponsor is Topper and his racquet sponsor is Head.

Career

Acasuso began playing tennis at the age of two, when his father took his brother and sister to his grandfather's tennis club. Reportedly, he got the nickname of "Chucho" from the fact that, when he was a child, he used to say his name was "José Acachucho." Acasuso played both basketball and tennis up until the age of 12, and then gave up basketball for tennis. Like Carlos Moyà, Acasuso is a natural left-hander, but plays tennis right-handed.

Acasuso turned professional in 2000, playing futures and challenger events. In 2001, he made an immediate impact in his first ATP tournament in Buenos Aires, where he defeated former No. 10 player Félix Mantilla in the last round of the qualifying to make the main draw, and then defeated compatriots Franco Squillari in the quarter-finals and Gastón Gaudio in the semi-finals. However, he lost to then-number-1 player Gustavo Kuerten, 6–1, 6–3. Later in the year, he won his first challenger event in Bermuda and finished the year ranked at 86 in the world an improvement of 89 places from the previous year.

In 2002, he was on the Argentine team that won the World Team Cup in Düsseldorf. He won his first ATP title in Sopot, defeating Franco Squillari, 2–6, 6–1, 6–3. He was also a finalist in Bucharest, losing to David Ferrer, and in Palermo to the Chilean Fernando González. He ended the year ranked 41st in the world.

After the previous two successful years, Acasuso's results began to decline and he ended up spending more time out due to injuries. He did not win a title in 2003. In 2004, however, he reached the final of Sopot again, this time losing to Rafael Nadal. Acasuso then went on to win his second career title in Bucharest by thrashing Russian Igor Andreev, 6–3, 6–0.

Acasuso reached the fourth round of the 2005 French Open, his best ever result in any of the Grand Slam events. He defeated number-2-seeded Andy Roddick in five sets, coming back from 2 sets to love down and a break of serve to win 3–6, 4–6, 6–4, 6–3, 8–6. He then lost to fellow Argentine Mariano Puerta for the second time in the year. He also improved his results away from his favoured clay surface by making the quarter finals on hard courts in Cincinnati and on carpet in Basel.

In 2006, Acasuso won his third ATP title in Viña del Mar over Nicolás Massú and also made his debut for Argentina in the Davis Cup against Sweden in the singles. He then played against Croatia in the doubles with David Nalbandian. They won their match and the tie to play against Australia in the semi-finals.

After reaching his first Tennis Masters Series semi final in Hamburg, where Acasuso defeated Simon Greul, Ivan Ljubičić, Sébastien Grosjean, and Fernando Verdasco, before losing to Radek Štěpánek in straight sets, he was ranked inside the top 30 for the first time in his career. Acasuso lost in the final of Stuttgart to David Ferrer 6–4, 3–6, 6–7, 7–5, 6–4 after having a 5–1 lead in the fourth set and served for the match twice.

In the 2006 Davis Cup tie between Argentina and Australia, Acasuso ended the run of 11 consecutive wins that Lleyton Hewitt was on of winning in 5 set matches, when he defeated him 1–6, 6–4, 4–6, 6–2, 6–1 in a match that was completed over two days. Of the win Acasuso said "I've beaten higher-ranked players in the past but to win at home in a Davis Cup semi-final with 14,000 people watching me here makes it one of the most important wins of my career".[1] Acasuso was a late substitute for Juan Ignacio Chela in the deciding fifth rubber of the 2006 Davis Cup Final against Marat Safin of Russia. Safin won 6–3, 3–6, 6–3, 7–6 (7–5) to win the Davis Cup for Russia.

Acasuso, together with Sebastián Prieto, has won three doubles titles: in 2005 in Stuttgart and Bucharest, and in 2006 in Viña del Mar. Prior to that Acasuso won a doubles title partnering Flávio Saretta at Umag in 2004.

He was previously coached by Horacio de la Peña, Daniel Orsanic and now is working with Gabriel Markus.

In the 2008 Davis Cup final, Acasuso was once again a late susbstitute in what turned out to be the tie-deciding fourth rubber. He replaced an injured Juan Martín del Potro and was defeated by Fernando Verdasco of Spain 6–3, 6–7 (3–7) 4–6, 6–2, 6–1.

Acasuso made the final of the 2009 Viña del Mar event, where he lost to Fernando González 6–1, 6–3. His most notable match in 2009 was his second round match at French Open 2009 against the eventual champion Roger Federer in which he lost in 4 sets, 7-6, 5-7, 7-6, 6-2. In this match he missed 4 set points in the first set and 3 set points in the third set while leading that set by 5-1.

Anna Chakvetadze Biography

Birthdate:     5-March-1987
Birthplace:     Moscow, Russia
Height:     5 ft 7 1/2 in (1.71 m)
Plays:     Right-Handed
Turned Pro:     2003

Russian player Anna Djambulilovna Chakvetadze was born on March 5th 1987 in Moscow and she also has Georgian roots. She speaks both Russian and English.

She began playing tennis at the age of 8 years-old after her mother Natalia introduced her to the sport and she travels with her father Djambuli.

Chakvetadze reached the finals of Junior Wimbledon in 2003 but lost to the Belgian player Kirsten Flipkens in three sets, the same year she won the International Bavarian Junior Challenge beating Marta Domachowska of Poland.

She made her debut on the ITF circuit in 2001 in Minsk, Belarus losing in the first round, but she won her first ITF title in Istanbul when she won the Women's Doubles with fellow Russian Irina Kotkina.

In the 2004 US Open she won all her matches in the qualifying competition to reach the main draw of her first Grand Slam singles. She reached the third round by beating World Number 3 Anastasia Myskina in straight sets but went on to be beaten by the Greek player Eleni Daniilidou. However she equalled Serena Williams' record as the fastest player to beat a World Top 10 player in WTA history.

Chakvetadze has yet to win a Grand Slam singles title but she came closest to achieving her dream in 2007 when she reached the Quarter Finals of the Australian and French Opens and the Semi Finals of the US Open.

In her career she has won 1 ITF Title and 8 WTA Titles and as of November 1st 2010 she is ranked 56 in the world. 2011 has started badly for the Russian player as she lost in the first round at Brisbane, Hobart and Melbourne in the Australian Open.

Her preparations for the 2011 Australian Open were a bit different to the preparations for the 2008 tournament. On Tuesday December 18th 2007 she was due to fly to Hong Kong to get ready for the Australian heat, but in the early hours of that morning the house she shared with her parents in Moscow was burgled.

Six masked robbers broke into the house in South West Moscow and stole money, jewellery and rubles worth approximately $306,000. They climbed over the fence and tied up a maid in another building.

They forced her to hand over a remote control which enables them to enter the Chakvedadze's house through the garage. Anna was tied up and her parents robbed. Her father was pistol-whipped and suffered bruises to his scalp, cheek and forehead.

Instead of going to Hong Kong she remained in Russia in temperatures of minus 15 degrees being comforted by friends and relatives. She did manage to go to Melbourne to try and forget the ordeal but admitted it had not been the best preparation for a Grand Slam.

It made Chakvedadze more aware of the darker side of modern Russia and the ongoing drive to stop match-fixing there.

She is coached by Cristian Kordasz and has a younger brother Roman. When she is not on the tour she attends Moscow University and she relaxes by reading detective novels and likes to spend time with her friends.
