def. Elena Baltacha(GBR) 6-1, 6-3   WIN

 

Q. Was that a better match for you today?

JUSTINE HENIN: Well, it was different match I would say. I think on Monday it was pretty good
in terms of it's been a good fight and she put on me a lot of pressure. Today I was more in control
during the whole match.

So it was completely different match. But I'm glad I did it in an hour after a pretty long match on Monday.

Q. Was your serve a key today?

JUSTINE HENIN: Well, I think I've been playing well when I had to and put the pressure I needed
to put at the right time. I was feeling, yeah, confident in my service games. A little bit less,
especially in the second set on the return.

But it's been good things. Should have been maybe a little more aggressive beginning of the second set,
but generally it's been pretty good.

Q. You talked the other day about how your elbow needs a lot of time to warm up these days.
Cold weather, first match, yet you started very well.

JUSTINE HENIN: It's the worst conditions actually, play first match and temperature. The weather
doesn't help, that's for sure. So I wasn't, yeah, feeling at my best on this part today.

But I have to deal with it and get ready, be focused on your game, even if it's not easy. But I did a
good job about that.

Q. You said you needed matches to get your rhythm. Did that game today provide that?

JUSTINE HENIN: Well, I need more matches. It's been one more match, and that's always good to
have the opportunity to play more matches. Like I said, it's not only about Australian Open, it's not only
about 2011, it's about a few years that I want to build, yeah, this second career.

I would say it was very hard last year. I hope this year I'll get the confidence step by step. Yeah, I've
been working hard. I'm working hard. I do everything I can. So, yeah, I think I'm in the right direction.
Even if I have to deal with a lot of things, a lot of things are pretty positive.

Q. You're No. 2 on the bidding to win the title. Are you a good bet?

JUSTINE HENIN: Well, it's good to know, but still a lot of things can happen (smiling).

Yeah, there are so many factors that we don't control all the time. So it's very, very early to talk
about that.

Q. Do you feel like you're well placed in this tournament to win?

JUSTINE HENIN: No. I think, like I just said, it's too early to think about that. I just go step by step.
I won my second match. I still have to deal physically with a lot of things. I don't want to look too
far, just live day after day, enjoy my victory today, and get ready for the next one.

Q. Do you notice ranking and seeding next to your name or do you just play, a double figure ranking?

JUSTINE HENIN: Ranking, I never think about ranking actually. I know what I did in the past. Of 
course, I would like to improve and get better. But it's what's going to bring that is just the victories 
and different wins, winning matches. That's the only thing.

My focus right now is to take care of myself, be in the best conditions, and the ranking, it comes very
far in my priorities. There are many things to do before thinking about that.

Q. Did you come to Australia with as many clothes as you've ever brought before? Do you think
the weather will have any effect on the draw, matches in a colder climate?

JUSTINE HENIN: Yeah, it's strange, I would say. I never saw that in Australia. Conditions are not
easy for the players, that's for sure; for the fans either; for the organization, certainly.

So it's something we have to deal with and deal with. But I hope it's going to get better. It's a new
experience in Australia, for sure.

Q. You play Kuznetsova in the third round. Your thoughts on that.

JUSTINE HENIN: Of course, it's a tough third round, Kuznetsova, even she has been a little more
in trouble in the last maybe year or two years. I think she remains a great player, and physically 
she has a lot of qualities: big forehand, great serve.

So I know I'll have to be at my best to win that one.

第二輪比較寫意了一些

不過感覺得出來，發球狀況還不是很好

感覺上發球動作也有些改變，老實說，我覺得怪怪的= =a

失誤還是比較偏多，數量倒不是重點，問題在有些失誤還挺囧的

以前不大容易看到Ju打出那種爆走的大出界

今年澳網出現的頻率有點小高了些

Allez Justine!!!一步一步前進吧!!!
