Justine Henin, for instance, walked away from professional tennis as the No. 1 player in the world, saying she no longer derived even a hint of happiness from roaring crowds and backhand winners. She's 25 going on 50. ``I have the impression I've already lived three lives,'' she said. Simply put, Henin was spent. Worn out, mentally and physically. Another suitcase. Another city. Another trophy. None of it mattered anymore. Barry Bonds says he hasn't played baseball since college. Back then it was a game. Then it became work. And golfer Sergio Garcia told Sports Illustrated he feels like an old man. He's 28. Bloomberg.com 5/20/08
