WTA No. 1 Justine Henin-Hardenne (24 years old) of Belgium was designated champion for 2006 by International Tennis Federation (ITF) and UNESCO.
Already awarded in 2003, she was the winner at Roland-Garros and Madrid Masters. She won 6 titles: Roland-Garros, Sidney, Dubai, Eastbourne, New Haven and the Masters and ended the year as the World's No. 1.
On December 14, 2006, UNESCO's General Director Kochiro Matsuura will designate her as champion for sport at Roland-Garros. Through this nomination, she will contribute her support to fight against doping and to educate the future athletes on the ethics of sport as well as consolidate the ties and interaction between education, prevention, ethics and human rights.
More power to you Justine for giving a great service and honor to your country and to the world as well and making me proud to be a Belgian!
