Split

Just a notification. The section Justine Henin#Tennis career in this article has been split to Justine Henin career biography. If anyone has any comments on this split please leave them here. Polargeo (talk) 05:19, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually go to WP:Tennis because their is where the ongoing discussion is taking palace about the horid article lenghts.69.137.120.81 (talk) 05:50, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That does not override the fact that a major split has been made from this article and details of the split may also be discussed here. Also people who monitor and contribute to this article and not WP:Tennis should have been notified here first. Polargeo (talk) 06:20, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Birth

This article contains conflicting date of birth information. Side bar claims 1 June 1982, "Tennis Career" section claims 1 July 1983. I've no idea which is correct, but perhaps someone can resolve the conflict? Microfluid (talk) 02:50, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On Justine Henin's official Facebook page (link given in wiki article) date of birth is given to be June 1, 1982. Jondalar 14:50, 17 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by SaturnineMind (talk • contribs)

Removal of duplicate sections

In the current article, there is a section "Return" which is being extended with new achievements of Justine Henin. But there are also other sections which also cover the same material. This makes many sections having the duplicate material for her return and her 2010 achievements. I suggest that duplicate sections be removed. SaturnineMind (talk) 11:01, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sets in a row

How many sets in a row at Roland Garros for Wills Moody ? 40 like Justine Henin, or 38. On R-G web site, it's 38 [1] : 10 in 1928, 8 in 1929, 10 in 1930 and 10 in 1932--Noel Olivier (talk) 08:33, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, two more sets in 1926 (first round) before she give up (because of disease).--Noel Olivier (talk) 09:34, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Failure

It's quite funny how Navratilova's quote has been taken out of context, in the introduction... This article is pathetic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.210.49 (talk) 17:53, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

equipment section is missing

At the very list it should have a list of the racquets (and ideally strings) used by Henin when she was #1. Any #1 player should have that information in their biographical page. 24.33.93.239 (talk) 05:07, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Trivial and not really needed. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:22, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Henin or Hénin?

What first raised alarm bells for me was the listed pronunciation of Henin. Spelt without an accent, her name would not contain the French /e/ sound. Looking at the article for the surname Henin, most examples are of Hénin. Perhaps more confusingly, a number of French and English sources use Justine Hénin. See [2] [3] [4] [5] Rovingrobert (talk) 03:00, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But I think far and away it's spelled Henin. Also, all of those sources you listed are from when she was married and going by Henin-Hardenne... so they don't help us much. Do we have her signature sourced anywhere? Fyunck(click) (talk) 03:37, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I checked... her personal website spells it Henin, her twitter account spells it Henin, her facebook account spells it Henin, and her tennis club spells it Henin. This one is case closed. Fyunck(click) (talk) 03:54, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, wonder how it's pronounced. Rovingrobert (talk) 04:33, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Times says EN-ah AR-den, corroborating the usual spelling. Rovingrobert (talk) 04:37, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In English, how it's pronounced and how it's spelled are two entirely different things. You can spell your name Fred and pronounce it as Mary if you like. I always pronounce her name as EN-ah but spell it Henin. Fyunck(click) (talk) 04:51, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

By the usual spelling, I do mean the version without an accute accent, by the way. Rovingrobert (talk) 13:58, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
