May 1999 - A 16 year old Justine
Justine is ranked #178, and wins her first pro trophy defeating France’s Sarah Pitkowski 6-2 6-1 at a WTA tournament in Antwerp. The following week she enters her first Roland Garrros main draw and first grand slam by means of the qualifications rounds. Justine plays American champion Lindsay Davenport in their first career meeting. After two hours of tennis Davenport tamed young Henin. The young Belgian held a match point in the 3rd set, but the American Champ escapes 3-6 6-2 5-7. Justine reaches a career high of #69 the week after Roland Garros
