Yes, for sure. Her technique was great, but her height helped her with balance while moving, allow her to maximize her speed and footwork.


"A shorter height will also increase a lower centre of gravity giving a player better balance."

Henin's speed, and ability to cover the court extremely well gave her and advantage over serena...but it also put a lot of pressure on her knees.. Henin was way more quicker than serena, especially on clay where she dominated serena....similar to how nadal is on clay.
