The International Tennis Hall of Fame has announced that Justine Henin and Marat Safin have been selected to join their institution.
From Belgium, Henin was a seven time Grand Slam winner, including four wins in the French Open. She enjoyed 117 weeks ranked #1 in women’s tennis and was instrumental in helping her country win their first Fed Cup Championship. She holds the distinction of being the first Belgian in the Hall.
Marat Safin made similar history as he is the first Russian being inducted into the Hall. Safin is a two time Grand Slam winner, the 2000 U.S. Open and 2005 Australian Open.
These two will be joined by posthumous inductions, Yvon Petra and Margaret Scriven, who were chosen in the master player category.
The French born, Petra, was the Wimbledon Champion in 1946. British born, Scrivens was the French Open Champion in 1933 and 1934.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the latest class.
