Former world number one Justine Henin said that she would consider becoming a coach on tour but she said it might not be in the near future since she wants to have more children.
“When I think about how to stay connected to the world of tennis, the idea of becoming a coach is tempting,” she was quoted by Belgian media. “It will take more time. The difficulty would be transmitting my ideas and adapting to the personality of the player. This would be a good challenge for me.”
Henin said that she might give it two to five years from now in terms of accepting that role but she said she would prefer working with a younger player that’s not yet established on tour.
Henin has been busy the past few weeks and admitted that she wasn’t able to watch much of the French Open tournament. She said she was able to catch the men’s and women’s singles final.
“I didn’t see a lot of matches, she said. “It seemed all the quarterfinalists were athletic. Sharapova is still a warrior. Like it or not, she has the mentality of a champion. I had not seen Halep play before. She has an intelligent game. There is a little something that reminds me of myself… it is offensive and aggressive.”
