Kim Clijsters vs. Venus Williams in the finals at Key Biscayne. Should be a great match, right? Wrong. Clijsters routed Williams to win the Sony Ericsson Open, 6-2, 6-1.
Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin met in a final. What is this, 2005? Both are Belgian, both retired from tournament tennis only to return after significant time off. And here they are meeting in finals again. This time, at the Brisbane International, Clijsters came out on top, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6.
Kim Clijsters, who retired several years ago, is in the midst of a comeback following marriage and motherhood. And the former world No. 1 took a big step in the right direction in the fourth round of the 2009 U.S. Open, knocking off Venus Williams.
