Justine Henin poses for Le Soir in Armani – you won’t recognize her!

What a makeover! Justine has never been my favorite considering the looks, but she definitely found the right track, i.e. the makeup artist and stylist found it for her. Here are the photos of her posing for next week’s issue of Le Soir.

Amelie Mauresmo might miss US Open

Amelie Mauresmo’s coach Loic Courteau told the French newspaper L'Equipe that it’s not certain that Mauresmo will compete in the last Grand Slam of the year which starts on the 27th August.

World No. 6 has had disappointing results lately, and one thing is for sure — she will have fifteen days off in order to rest from the world of tennis.

“She really needs to completely recharge her batteries, to re-energize, to come back with new ambitions and goals," said Loic Courteau.

Mauresmo is already thinking about the next season: "The first date will of course be the US Open, but I must already start to think about 2008." (via Lawn Tennis News)

Would you like to download a free tennis mask?

Anastasia Myskina maskBBC is offering masks of tennis players. You can download Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Tim Henman, and Anastasia Myskina (the only woman in the crowd). Check them out here.

I only wonder why they didn’t choose some more popular female player than Myskina. She’s ok, but wouldn’t masks of some other players be more interesting at the moment?

Maybe they are planning to expand the list.

Lindsay Davenport considers comeback after birth of first child

Lindsay Davenport has been out of action since the end of last year, awaiting the birth of her first child. On June 10 she gave birth to her son Jagger, and now she’s planning to get back to the pro tour, being especially eager to play in next year's Beijing Olympics.

The 31-year-old Davenport will play her first match since September on Saturday in World Team Tennis.

"It's been so much fun preparing. I've been hitting with my husband.”

She will bring her son and other family members to the weekend team match in Sacramento.

"I'm hoping he'll bring me even more joy on the road and more fun," she said. "The challenge for me is about balancing everything. I totally understand the working mom's guilt. If I go practice, I feel bad."

The good thing is that Davenport has the full support of her husband: "He thinks it's great; he's totally encouraging me to do whatever I want." (via Herald Tribune)
