Sports Thread #1 For 9/21/09: What A Surprise, Justine Henin Is Coming Back.

I guess the jealousy and hate for Clijsters continues.

two major Belgian newspapers are reporting that retired former top-ranked player Justine Henin will announce her comeback to competitive tennis Tuesday.

La Derniere Heure and Le Soir reported the comeback Monday. Her spokeswoman did not return phone calls and Henin’s Web site had no comment on the rumors.

Henin said months ago that she couldn't see herself coming back to tennis because of the injuries that have taken a toll on her throughout her career.

Yet after the mumbles about her seeing Clijsters in the tennis limelight getting her competitive juices running again, she now decides to return to the stage.

Obviously, this has more to do with Clijsters success than Henin wanting to come back just for herself.

It's a shame really how petty she is here. But hey, better for women's tennis with her officially coming back. A champion of Henin's credentials is certainly something we should all celebrate.

A shame that she isn't coming back just on that alone though.
