I agree, it could hurt Henin's ego too much to be blown off the court some day in the future... At least that's how she perceives that. If one is a real champion, like Sampras, then no defeats from Safin (who beat him at the US Open) or anyone else can take that feeling away from Pete. If one the other hand one (maybe Henin) is insecure about her status in the WTA tennis, then she may want to avoid losing later, when she is not at the top anymore... Interesting point, Boris.

Recollect, how Capriaty throw away Hingis with her old fashion style of play. Henin don't want to wait the same from Ivanovich, Jankovich and other young girl with modern style of play.
