As a 37-year-old mother of three children, Clijsters' passion to tennis and grit should be really admired. A great debut of her re-appearance on stage of grand slam.

@TaiAkinz3 жыл бұрын
Clijsters has always been a great ball striker. I am unsure if her fitness is the question or her age - loss of mobility/defence on the court. Can say the same about Serena. They look great hitting a ball right in front of them but get them on the run and they look average.
@kasparl92553 жыл бұрын
I don't understand why she hasn't lost the excess weight already. She's a professional athlete, working out hours daily. Little bit of dieting and the weight should come off easily. But somehow, she doesn't manage to do that..

@jhyrumgrant3 жыл бұрын
Kim's ball striking is nothing short of amazing. Dropping a few pounds would have allowed more - she'd have won the second if her movement were just a little better. But no stamina for the third. I think it's a great go at any rate.

Clisters can again be number one, her strokes are so powerful and she comes to the net confidently when she should, something very few players do anymore. Her approach shots and rushing the net will mess up most players now adays. The look on her face at the end of that match says it all, she was pissed she lost, not the face of someone who doesn't think she can compete anymore.
