But year after year, Henin created her best memories at Roland Garros, and it may all have stemmed back from a promise she made to her mother as they watched the 1992 final together.
Although they fell short of winning the title, their journey to the final was a testament to the strength and depth of Belgian tennis.
Having missed these three previous events, Clijsters's desire to represent Belgium at the Olympics was one of the underlying reasons why she prolonged her second career until the 2012 London Games in late July.[153] At the time, she did not have good results at her most recent tournaments, withdrawing from the Rosmalen Grass Court Championships in the semifinals in June due to injury and suffering a lopsided loss in the fourth round at Wimbledon.
