Justine Henin

Henin has seven Grand Slam singles titles and is known for a 117-week total at WTA world number one. The 117 weeks is a concrete and commonly cited statistic. Her record is central to most player summaries.

Henin is widely recognized for a one-handed backhand, which is less common in modern women's tennis. Her backhand control was especially effective on clay courts. The French Open results reinforce that reputation.

She won three French Open titles and maintained top rankings in a highly competitive era. Belgian women’s tennis discussions often use these numbers as baseline comparisons. She is also compared with Serena Williams and Amelie Mauresmo in major match analysis.

Henin is often discussed for high-level returns to competition, which adds a second layer beyond the 7 majors. The 117-week No. 1 total is the hard fact used first, before discussing comebacks. Readers usually treat it as both technical excellence and competitive durability.
