The level of shotmaking we see in this match is outstanding

Clijsters was bigger , stronger , incredibly athletic. So good on defense. Always thought Henin was a little tougher mentally. , and like Serena , Ultra competitive. Kimmie like Venus was nicer , and wanted to win, but didn’t have the killer drive of Serena and Henin. Clijsters got tougher later , and started winning . slams. Henin ‘s backhand is so awesome. Love kimmie . She should have won a few more slams.

Tennis history has been blessed to witness one of the greatest rivalries when these two amazing ladies were still playing... By rare, what I mean is a small non-eastern-european country, like Belgium, can have two world's best players in the same era

Kim deserves win Roland Garros at least once

Amazing thing about Henin was the incredible weight-of-shot she surprisingly had, for being so small. Even more so if you consider she generated power despite using a one-handed backhand. She was a phenom

Omg this was SUCH GOOD TENNIS 🎾 😆 We had my sistas the one and only Williams Sisters, Sharapova, Capriati, Hingis, Kuznetzova, the Belgians, Seles, and Graf. These were legends pretty much playing each other towards the end of beginning of their careers ❤

Amazing rivalry

It crazy to see a time when Henin had bigger groundies on both wings than Clijsters.

match de très haut niveau, personne recule , revers magnifique de Henin, frappe très fort,

So good!!

Je me rappel, moi je suis pour madame Justine Henin ,mais elles sont 2 championnes(belge, contre belge),je suis belge aussi;) 20 an déjà.

Pity Kim couldn't follow on to beating Henin in the three grand slam finals she faced her in 2003 and 2004 :(

Had henin made it to the finals she would have likely beaten Jennifer capriati as I give henin a better edge over Jennifer then what clijsters had.. henin was a little more aggressive .. an henin also managed to beat Jennifer on grass next month at Wimbledon..

Great match from Clijsters!

Kim is one of the best ♥️

THE highest level match of the XXIst century.

Kim and Lleyton Hewitt really look like each other.

I dont know that these 2 played each other on Rg 2001...anyway congrats to kim...

Wow Kim beat JustLyin at RG? Didn’t know this.

No idea how Justine lost to a Kim clijsters on a slow clay court? That is pretty rare.
