The retirement comes as a terrible shock. But at least she called it quits when she was at the peak of her powers. She is undoubtedly the greatest champion of her generation. Along with Stefan Edberg she is my favourite tennis player of all time.<BR/><BR/>Zidane for some reason or the other isn't one of my favourites. Maybe its because of my allegiance to Man United. But even then I rate the moments that a certain King Eric generated at Old Trafford as far superior.<BR/><BR/>And as for Rhodes, I always preferred watching a well taken catch at slip to a diving effort at backward point. I rate Mark Waugh as a better overall fielder. The ease with which he took catches at slip was quite remarkable.<BR/><BR/>A Couch-side View said...<BR/>I do agree with you that its heartbreaking to see one of your favourite players bow out in an unexpected manner. Cantona's retirement at the age of 30 was very similar to that of Justine's.<BR/><BR/>Rahul Saha said...<BR/>Agassi retiring at the US Open broke me heart. I had been supporting him since 92. Its sad but inevitable I guess.<BR/><BR/>Doubletake, Doublethink. said...<BR/>justine.

We do not always choose the sportsmen whom we love most on the basis of how good they are.<BR/><BR/>@saha: I liked Agassi a lot too. In all his different avatars. But not as much as Henin, Rhodes or Zidane.<BR/><BR/>@doubletake: *echoes her thoughts*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
