Clijsters Countdown: 3 Days Until Debut

I've got my tickets for her opening round match in Cincinnati and could not be more excited for this comeback. Personally, I have always viewed the whole medium of tennis as "The Best Sport" and have, consequently, always viewed Kim Clijsters as "The Best Player Ever." For proof, watch this aptly titled video from 2003.


For another impressive testament to the amazingness of Kim, check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4EKndqm1Yw&feature=related

Clijsters' Winning Debut



Kim Clijsters was again victorious on her comeback trail, winning the women's singles and doubles events in her debut appearance with the World Team Tennis organization. Playing for the St. Louis Aces, Kim led her team to victory with strong showing in all three events she contested, narrowly losing the Mixed Doubles before defeating Liezel Huber and Vania King in the Women's Doubles, and King again in the Women's Singles. These wins mark another successful step towards Clijsters' return to the WTA. Including her Wimbledon and Rosmalen exhibition matches, Kim is now 3-0 in singles, 1-0 in doubles, and 1-1 in mixed since announcing her August return to professional tennis.

Kim will take the court again tonight when the Aces take on the Philadelphia Freedoms. For more information visit the WTT website.
