Just a year and a half ago, Justine Henin ruled the WTA tennis tour, and many were calling her the best women's player of our generation. It seemed like no one could stop the diminutive but powerful Henin.

Suddenly, Henin decided to call it a career during the summer of 2008. Many were shocked by this revelation, as there was simply no reason for her to retire. After all, it's not as if she was slowing down.

Her retirement had everything to do with the fact that she simply grew tired of the lifestyle that comes with that of a professional athlete. The training and the grueling schedule had taken their toll on this champion.

There were personal initiatives that she preferred to focus on, including a camp for children where she'd teach them how to play tennis.

There was definitely a void in the world of women's tennis. The number ones of the world weren't truly the best in the minds of some fans, because they wondered if Henin would still be at the top of the ranks. Out of nowhere, some wishes were granted a few months ago when she said she'd return to the sport.

Many wondered if Henin would be able to compete at the level she previously played at. After all, nearly two years away from the sport could leave her rusty and a bit older. Will she be able to return to the world's number one ranking that she firmly occupied before she called it quits?

Well, if her recent play is any sort of indication, all possibilities should be on the table at this point. With a first round straight sets win at the Brisbane International tournament against second seeded Nadia Petrova, she looked very much like her old self.

From here, there's one thing on her mind, and no one's doubting she can get there. Expect to see her back at the top in due time.
