UPDATE: Justine Henin has officially announced her comeback for the 2010 WTA season.
According to two Belgian newspapers, Le Soir and La Derniere Heure, Justine Henin will announce her comeback Tuesday. Which is tomorrow.
It was only seventeen months ago that then-#1 Justine said "it is my life as a woman that starts now," announcing her retirement. Her life as a woman is apparently over, and she is now free to revert to whatever it was before she was a woman.
I'll have more on what Justine's comeback means when more details emerge, but for now I just need to pretend this isn't happening.
Is no retirement sacred?
In related news, Virginia Wade has requested a wild card for the 2010 Australian Open. Sheesh.

Hmmmmm...
Based on the quote above …" it is my life as a woman that starts now," announcing her retirement. Her life as a woman is apparently over, and she is now free to revert to whatever it was before she was a woman." Henin has hired Renee Richards as her coach.

I love watching Henin. If there were weight classes in tennis, she may be the greatest little player of all time. For her size, she is a straight up phenom.

Pretty much the end of the news day in Belgium, and no announcement…
