PARIS (AP) - Death, divorce, illness, injuries, a lawsuit: Set tennis aside for a moment, and ponder just how much Serena Williams and Justine Henin have dealt with since the last time they met at the French Open.
That was in the 2003 semifinals, as bitter a big match as this sport has produced lately. A pro-Henin crowd cheered Williams' mistakes, then booed her off the court. During a teary news conference after her loss, Williams accused Henin of "lying and fabricating" about whether she'd held up a hand to stop play.
"It seems," Williams said Sunday, "like decades ago."
