Today the 6th Sense Tennis Academy -- co-founded by Justine Henin, the former top player in women's professional tennis -- opens at Mission Inn Resort & Club in Howey-in-the-Hills.

This weekend at the Academy, Henin and her longtime coach Carlos Rodriguez are expected to lead mini-tennis workshops designed for tennis coaches.

Who is Justine Henin?

The Belgian star was the world's top-ranked player when she announced her retirement in May. She won $19 million in prize money, 41 Women's Tennis Association titles and seven Grand Slam singles titles. She also was the world's top-ranked player for 118 weeks. Henin first learned the game at age 8, playing mini-tennis on a smaller-sized court to develop a foundation in the sport.
