  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;The number one tennis player in the world, Justine Henin, nick-named 'Ju-Ju', has had an extraordinary career. Having won the French Open Champion-ship in May 2007 - her third consecutive victory - as well as the Australian championship, her career was crowned by a spectacular victory in the US Open in 2007 when she beats both Williams sisters - Venus in the final in a dramatic battle which is considered to be one of the finest ladies singles ever.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;And yet, the life of this feisty and courageous tennis star, who has been described 'the female Federer' and has as her fans Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe, has been peppered with success and tragedy in equal measure. Her mother, sister, baby nephew and grandfather all lost their lives in exceptionally sad circumstances. Justine began 2007 still locked in a seven-year feud with her father Jose, and separated from her husband Pierre-Yves. Then she heard that her brother David was in a coma, hovering between life and death, after a terrible car-crash.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the real story of one of the best tennis players &lt;i&gt;ever&lt;/i&gt; - a truly moving piece of writing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Not bad. Ryan's writing style could use a bit of work, he is particularly fond of certain words and phrases such as 'perhaps he/she didn't need to', 'tamed' and 'cast as the hero/heroine/villan of the piece'. Apart from that my only other criticism is that perhaps he should have started his biograph...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42979607">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The writing was too florid and, on occasion, ungrammatical, but that is of no consequence.  Justine is my favorite female tennis player EVER (sorry Steffi, Monica, et al), and hero worship has quelled the critic in me.  I loved reading the chapter on the US Open semifinal against Capriati in 2003.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31556370">more...</a>]]></body>
