The DWDs main task is to warn against weather related dangers, as well as monitoring and rating changes in the German [[climate]]. The DWD is also responsible for running the the national clime archive and runs one of the biggest libraries worldwide that is specialized on weather and climate.
Henin is from the [[Walloon Region|Walloon]] ([[French language|French]]-speaking) region of [[Belgium]]. Her mental toughness and her one-handed [[backhand]], a stroke which [[John McEnroe]] has called among the best backhands of any male or female player, are reasons she is one of the world's best players.<ref>{{cite news

Structurally, the Deutsche Wetteramt belongs to the [[Federal ministry for Transport (Germany)|Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung]]. This establishes a close link to the German [[government]], communes, economy, industry, country and state ministries for purposes of cooperation and consulting. It's work is based on the law about the DWD ("Gesetz über den Deutschen Wetterdienst").
==Family life==
Henin's trainer, Carlos Rodriguez, has been her main father figure since her mother died of intestinal cancer when Henin was 12 years old. For many years, she was in conflict with her biological father, José Henin. Only shortly after her divorce in early 2007, Henin herself announced that she had made contact again with her close family. She has two older brothers and one younger sister. Her elder sister died in a car accident before Justine was born.
 
Currently, the DWD consists of roughly 2600 occupants. Besides the DWD central in Offenbach, there are regional centers in [[Hamburg, Germany|Hamburg]], [[Potsdam, Germany|Potsdam]], [[Leipzig, Germany|Leipzig]], [[Essen, Germany|Essen]], [[Stuttgart, Germany|Stuttgart]] and [[Munich, Germany|Munich]]. Additionally, it runs Germanys densest net of meteorological measurement points with 173 full time meteorological stations (100 of them being manned) as well as about 2400 extraordinal [[weather station|weather stations]] run by volunteering amateurs.

==Tennis career==
===Early career===
Henin, known as "Juju" to many of her fans, has been coached by Carlos Rodriguez of [[Argentina]] since she was 14 years old. In [[1997]], she won the junior girl's singles title at the [[French Open]]. Early in her senior career, she regularly reached the late rounds of international competitions and won five [[International Tennis Federation]] tournaments by the end of 1998.
 
== History ==
She started her professional career on the [[Women's Tennis Association]] (WTA) tour in May 1999 as a wild card entry in the Belgian Open at [[Antwerp]] and became the fifth player to win her debut WTA Tour event.
The DWD was found in [[1952]] by joining the weather services of the western occupation zones. [[1954]] the Federal Republic of Germany joined the [[World Meteorological Organization]] (WMO). [[1975]] the ''European Center for Medium-Term Forecasts'' was founded to be able to forecast the weather up to ten days in advance. [[1990]] the DWD integrated the weather services of the [[GDR]].
 
Since the 1990s, the DWD continously decreased the number of manned weather stations, which resuled in substantial staff cutbacks. According to the DWD, no reduce in forcast quality is to be expected, though, since techniques like weather radar or satellites significantly improved the weather data for a large monitored area.
Henin established herself as a major competitor in 2001 when she reached the women's singles semifinals of the [[French Open]] and the women's singles final of [[Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]], losing to [[Venus Williams]]. By the end of the year, Henin was ranked seventh in singles, with three titles to her name. Also at the French Open that year, she and [[Elena Tatarkova]] reached the women's doubles semifinals.
 
In 2002, she reached four WTA finals, winning two of them. Henin finished the year ranked fifth. Her [[Qatar Telecom German Open|German Open]] victory, her first win at a [[WTA Tier I Events|Tier I tournament]], was noteworthy as she beat [[Jennifer Capriati]] in a semifinal and [[Serena Williams]] in the final, the then number two and number five ranked players, respectively.
 
== Public Services ==
===Grand Slam breakthrough in 2003===
Since [[2005]], the DWD publishes regional warnings against heat with the aim to reduce heat related fatalities. This decision was made because of the hot summer in [[2003]], when estimated 7000 people died from direct or indirect effects of the heat. Additionally it sends out sea weather reports as radio tele types and faxes. Since [[2006]], the pollen warnings can be subscribed for free on the DWD web site.
 
In 2003, Henin won her first [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] tournament, the [[French Open]], defeating her compatriot [[Kim Clijsters]] in the final 6-0, 6-4. She reached the final after defeating top ranked [[Serena Williams]] in three sets, recovering from a 2-4 deficit in the third set.
 
== External link ==
Later that year, Henin won her second Grand Slam tournament, the [[US Open (tennis)|U.S. Open]], again defeating Clijsters in the final 7-5, 6-1. Henin reached the final by defeating [[Jennifer Capriati]] 7-6 in the final set of their semifinal match. During the match, Henin was two points from defeat eleven times. The match ended well after midnight and Henin, after receiving treatment for dehydration and cramping, returned the next day to defeat Clijsters.

[[Image:Justine Henin Miami.jpg|thumb|200px|Justine Henin on a practice court during the [[Miami Masters|Sony Ericsson Open]].]]
Henin started 2004 by winning a warm-up tournament in [[Sydney]]. She then won the [[Australian Open]] in [[Melbourne]], defeating [[Kim Clijsters]] 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.
 
[[Category:Meteorological institutions and stations]]
As of March 22, 2004, Henin had accumulated the highest point total (7626) in the history of the WTA rankings. Because the awarding of quality points was eliminated in 2006, this point total may never be exceeded.
 
[[de:Deutscher Wetterdienst]]
By the end of the 2004 spring hard court season, Henin had built a 25-match Tier I winning streak and a 22-1 win-loss record (winning her first 16 matches).
[[fr:Deutscher Wetterdienst]]
 
At the start of the 2004 clay court season, Henin's health was adversely affected by infection with a strain of [[cytomegalovirus]] and an immune system problem. She often slept up to 18 hours a day and barely had the strength to brush her teeth, let alone play competitive tennis.
 
Although she decided to defend her French Open title and was seeded first in the tournament, she lost her second round match against a much lower-ranked player, [[Tathiana Garbin]] of [[Italy]]. At the time, the loss marked only the second time in 15 Grand Slam events that Henin exited before the fourth round.
 
Henin returned to competition in August and won the women's singles [[gold medal]] at the [[2004 Summer Olympics|Summer Olympics]] in [[Athens]], [[Greece]], defeating [[Amélie Mauresmo]] of France in the final 6-3, 6-3. Henin reached the gold medal match by defeating [[Anastasia Myskina]] in a semifinal after having trailed 1-5 in the final set, which she won 8-6. Her medal ceremony was attended by fellow countryman and IOC president [[Jacques Rogge]].
 
In September 2004, she unsuccessfully defended her U.S. Open title, losing to [[Nadia Petrova]] in the fourth round. This defeat caused her to lose the number one ranking, which she had held for 45 non-consecutive weeks. She then withdrew from the 10 remaining tournaments of the year in an effort to recover her health and improve her fitness. Her plan to rejoin the tour at the beginning of 2005 was delayed when she fractured her kneecap in a December 2004 training session.
 
On March 25, 2005, after more than six months away from competition, Henin returned to the WTA circuit at the [[Miami Masters|NASDAQ-100 Open]] in [[Miami]]. She lost to second ranked [[Maria Sharapova]] in a quarterfinal. She rebounded at her next tournament, winning the clay court [[Family Circle Cup]] in [[Charleston, South Carolina]]. She won two more clay court titles before the start of the 2005 French Open. Her victories over top ranked [[Lindsay Davenport]], Sharapova, [[Elena Dementieva]], [[Svetlana Kuznetsova]], and Petrova made her a top contender for the title there.
 
Henin was seeded tenth at the French Open and defeated the French player [[Mary Pierce]], 6-1, 6-1, to take her second title at Roland Garros. The win marked Henin's 24th consecutive clay court win and her tenth consecutive final win, a streak stretching back to [[Zürich Open|Zürich]] in October 2003. In capturing the title, she defeated Kuznetsova in the fourth round, Sharapova in a quarterfinal, and Petrova in a semifinal.
 
With her French Open victory, Henin moved from number 12 to number seven in the women's singles rankings. She joined [[Monica Seles]] as the only two currently active (in 2005) players on the WTA Tour to have won the French Open at least twice and was a perfect 24-0 in her 2005 clay court season.
 
At [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] [[2005]], Henin's win streak of 24 matches was snapped in the first round by Greek [[Eleni Daniilidou]] 7-6, 2-6, 7-5. With this defeat, she became the first French Open champion in the [[Open Era (tennis)|open era]] to lose in the opening round of Wimbledon. A [[hamstring]] injury sustained earlier in the year eventually limited Henin to playing in only 11 more matches for 2005.
 
In 2005, [[TENNIS Magazine]] put her in 31st place in its list of [[TENNIS Magazine's 40 Greatest Players of the TENNIS Era|40 Greatest Players of the TENNIS era]].
 
In November, at the 2005 Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Championships, she was named the inaugural winner of the Whirlpool 6th Sense Player of the Year, which honors the player who has demonstrated the most sixth sense intuition, that is to say "heightened intelligence, unbeatable performance and pinpoint precision."
 
===2006===
[[Image:Justine_henin_hardenne_medibank_international_2006_02.jpg|200px|thumb|Justine Henin at the [[2006]] [[Medibank International]] in [[Sydney]], [[Australia]].]]
In January 2006, Henin returned to competitive tennis in a tournament in [[Sydney]], a tune-up for the 2006 [[Australian Open]]. She was seeded fifth and played former women's singles number one (and newly returned to competitive tennis) [[Martina Hingis]] in a much hyped first round match. Henin won 6-3, 6-3. She then defeated former [[U.S. Open (tennis)|U.S. Open]] champion [[Svetlana Kuznetsova]] in a semifinal 6-3, 6-1, before defeating [[Francesca Schiavone]] in the final 4-6, 7-5, 7-5.
 
In her Australian Open campaign, Henin defeated top ranked [[Lindsay Davenport]] and fourth ranked [[Maria Sharapova]] in three-set matches to set up a final against third ranked [[Amélie Mauresmo]]. While trailing 6-1, 2-0, Henin retired from the match, citing intense stomach pain caused by over-use of anti-inflammatories for a persistent shoulder injury. Henin was criticized by the press because she said after her win against Sharapova in the previous round that she was at the "peak of her fitness" and was playing the "best tennis of her life." She was only the second player, and the first woman, to retire from a [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] final in the [[open era]].
 
Henin captured her second title of 2006 at a Tier II event in [[Dubai]], defeating Sharapova 7-5, 6-2. This was her third Dubai title, having won previously in 2003 and 2004.
 
In the following [[Indian Wells Masters|Pacific Life Open]] Tier I tournament in [[Indian Wells]], Henin lost a semifinal match to fourth seed [[Elena Dementieva]] 2-6, 7-5, 7-5 after leading 6-2, 5-1. Henin also was ousted from the Miami NASDAQ-100 Open in the second round by [[Meghann Shaughnessy]] 7-5, 6-4. In April, Henin failed to defend her title at the [[Family Circle Cup]] in [[Charleston, South Carolina]], her first clay court event of the season. She lost to third-seeded [[Patty Schnyder]] 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 in a semifinal. It was her first defeat in the Tier I tournament and the end of her 27 match win streak on clay.
 
In April, Henin led Belgium to victory over defending champion Russia in a [[Fed Cup]] quarterfinal. She defeated fifth ranked [[Nadia Petrova]] 6-7, 6-4, 6-3, and ninth ranked [[Elena Dementieva]] 6-2, 6-0. The wins were significant for Henin because Petrova had come into the tie with two consecutive clay court tournament victories and a 10-match clay court winning streak, while Dementieva had defeated Henin in their last meeting in Indian Wells and defeated second ranked Belgian compatriot [[Kim Clijsters]] on the first day of the tie.
 
Henin played at the Tier I [[Qatar Telecom German Open|German Open]] as the defending champion and defeated Mauresmo 6-1, 6-2 in a semifinal. However, she lost to Petrova in the final 4-6, 6-4, 7-5.
 
At the [[French Open]] in June, Henin rebounded from her loss in Berlin. In a semifinal match, Henin defeated second seeded Clijsters 6-3, 6-2. She then defeated Kuznetsova in the final 6-4, 6-4 to win her third title in four years there. Henin captured the title without the loss of a set and became the first French Open champion to defend her title successfully since [[Steffi Graf]] in [[1996]].
 
At the Eastbourne grass court tournament, Henin won the final against [[Anastasia Myskina]] 4-6, 6-1, 7-6(5).
 
Henin was the third seed going into [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] and advanced to her third consecutive Grand Slam final without losing a set. She defeated Clijsters (who was seeded second) in a semifinal 6-4, 7-6(4) but lost the final to Mauresmo 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.
 
Henin withdrew from Tier 1 events in San Diego and Montreal because of injury but entered the Pilot Pen tournament in New Haven. There, she defeated Kuznetsova and Davenport en route to the title. It was her 28th WTA tour title. She returned to the number 2 ranking and crossed over US $12 millon in career prize money.
 
At the U.S. Open, Sharapova defeated Henin 6-4, 6-4 in the final.
 
Henin was the first woman since Hingis in 1997 to reach the finals of all four Grand Slam singles tournaments in a calendar year. This was also the first time that both a man and a woman have reached the finals of all Grand Slams in one year, the man being [[Roger Federer]].
 
Henin guaranteed her year end world No. 1 ranking by reaching the final of the [[WTA Tour Championships]], defeating Sharapova 6-2, 7-6(5) in a semifinal. Henin then won the tournament for the first time in her career by defeating Mauresmo in the final 6-4 6-3.
 
Henin is the first player since Hingis in 2000 to win the WTA Tour Championships and end the year as the top ranked player. Henin is the first woman to win at least one Grand Slam singles title in four consecutive years since Graf from 1993 through 1996. Her prize money earnings for 2006 totaled U.S. $4,204,810.
 
===2007===
 
On [[January 4]], [[2007]], Henin withdrew from the [[Australian Open]] and the warm-up tournament in [[Sydney]] for personal reasons, which resulted in her losing the No. 1 ranking to [[Maria Sharapova]].
 
In her first tournament of the year, Henin lost in the semifinals of the [[Open Gaz de France]] to Czech [[Lucie Safarova]] 7-6(5), 6-4.
 
Henin then won two hardcourt tournaments in the [[Middle East]]. She won the [[Dubai Duty Free Women's Open]] for the fourth time in the last five years, defeating [[Amelie Mauresmo]] in the final 6-4, 7-5. In [[Doha]], she won her first [[Qatar Total Open]] title, defeating [[Svetlana Kuznetsova]] in the final 6-4, 6-2. She also reached [[United States dollar|US$]]14 million in career prize money earnings, and on March 19th, she regained the No. 1 ranking.
 
At the [[Sony Ericsson Open]] in [[Key Biscayne, Florida]], Henin reached the final for the first time in her career, where she lost to [[Serena Williams]] 0-6, 7-5, 6-3 after Henin had two match points at 6-0, 5-4.
 
Henin withdrew from the [[Family Circle Cup]] in [[Charleston, South Carolina]] with an ongoing respiratory problem. Her next tournament was the [[J&S Cup]] in [[Warsaw, Poland]], which she won, beating [[Alona Bondarenko]] of [[Ukraine]] 6-1, 6-3 in the final.
 
Later at the [[Qatar Telecom German Open]] in [[Berlin]], Henin won a marathon quarterfinal against [[Jelena Janković]] 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 after being behind 4-0 in the third set. However, she lost her semifinal against Kuznetsova 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, which was only her second loss to Kuznetsova in 16 career meetings.
 
Her next tournament is the [[French Open]], where she is the defending champion and has recieved first seed.
On the first round of the French Open, Justine Henin defeated Vesnina of Russia with the result 6-4, 6-3 in 89 minutes. After also passing the second and third round, she beat [[Serena Williams]] in two sets in the quarterfinals.

==Singles performance timeline==
''To prevent confusion and double counting, information in this table is updated only once a tournament or the player's participation in the tournament has concluded. This table is current through the [[Qatar Telecom German Open]] in [[Berlin, Germany]], which ended on [[May 13]], [[2007]].''
<!--if you can't understand the italicized note, it just means WAIT till she exits in the tournament, either with a win or a loss so an editor can do it in just one go. and in updating numbers, include the update of tournaments played, finals reached and won, surface win-loss, overall win-loss, and these numbers in the career column, as well as the win-loss in the footnote. -->

: *As of [[May 28]], [[2007]].
 
==Notable matches==
* '''2003 Australian Open fourth round''': defeated [[Lindsay Davenport]] 7-5, 5-7, 9-7. In a match lasting more than three hours, Henin overcame a 4-1 final set deficit, high temperatures, and muscle cramps to defeat Davenport for the first time in her career.[http://www.tennisroundup.com/events/2003/2003_AustralianOpen/index.htm] [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/australian_open/2003/2673211.stm]
* '''2003 U.S. Open semifinal''': defeated [[Jennifer Capriati]] 4-6, 7-5, 7-6(4). Capriati was two points away from victory eleven times in a match that stretched to midnight. After her victory, Henin went to the hospital for rehydration treatment. The next day, she defeated fellow Belgian [[Kim Clijsters]] for the title.[http://www.usatoday.com/sports/tennis/open/2003-09-05-womens-semis_x.htm] [http://www.inq7.net/brk/2003/sep/06/brkspo_1-1.htm]
* '''2004 Athens Olympics semifinal''': defeated [[Anastasia Myskina]] 7-5, 5-7, 8-6. After months of layoff due to a virus, Henin competed in the [[2004 Summer Olympics|Olympics]]. Henin rallied from 5-1 down in the third set to defeat reigning [[French Open]] champion Myskina. She went on to capture the gold medal.[http://www.abc.net.au/sport/content/200408/s1181850.htm] [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics_2004/tennis/3583968.stm]
* '''2005 French Open fourth round''': defeated [[Svetlana Kuznetsova]] 7-6(6), 4-6, 7-5. Henin saved two match points to earn a quarterfinal spot. In winning the tournament, she became only the second woman to win the French Open after saving a match point. (Myskina accomplished the feat a year before, also against Kuznetsova.)[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/low/tennis/4592641.stm]
* '''2005 Wimbledon first round''': lost to [[Eleni Daniilidou]] 7-6(8), 2-6, 7-5. It was the first time that a reigning French Open champion failed to win a match at Wimbledon.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/4116834.stm] [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/06/22/SPG0ODC8LH1.DTL]
* '''2006 Australian Open final''': lost to [[Amélie Mauresmo]] 6-1, 2-0. Henin retired from the match with stomach pain. This was only the fourth Grand Slam women's singles final that ended by retirement since 1900 and the first in the open era. Henin stated afterwards that she feared possible injury had she continued to play. She was widely criticized by tennis commentators and writers for not finishing the match.<ref>{{cite news

* '''2006 Wimbledon final''': lost to Mauresmo 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. The final round was notable for featuring two "finesse" players who used their all-court games, a notable break from the previous years that featured a succession of power baseliners claiming the title. At almost every point throughout the match, both players approached the net to serve and volley. Tipped as the tournament favorite, Henin won the first set over Mauresmo. But Mauresmo recovered, winning the next two sets and keeping her composure to win her second Grand Slam title and deny the Belgian a career Grand Slam.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/5161122.stm] [http://www.nysun.com/article/35575] [http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/sports/other_sports/14989696.htm]
