How to complete your finals match, even if you are sick and losing
For some reason, the sports press hasn't picked up on this yet, but here is the real corker of the Australian Open: Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia won the junior girls' championship at the Open, 1-6, 6-2, 6-3, despite the fact that she was sick with heat illness, dizzy, had a leg injury, took a medical break, and was down 1-6, 0-2 in the second set,
This is in sharp contrast to the retirement (at 1-6, 0-2 in the second set) of Justine Henin-Hardenne, who left most of us with a really bad feeling about her, even those of us who have tried to give her the benefit of the doubt.
