@Clijsterskim is coming to Roland Garros, not only to play the Legends tournament but also to support @wickytennis (and other Belgians).


:clap

Since I am new here, I'll mention that Kim is my all time favorite women's player. I was at her very last professional match (her mixed doubles loss at USO '12), and I'm ecstatic to know she'll be rejoining the game, even in this small a capacity.

I think she indulged in a "chest bump" with a Bryan in that.

Kim was good on HC's.....she wasnt a complete player to me.
One thing that drove me insane was the commentator's on her matches after she had her child,was the reference to her being a Mother? like she wasnt the first or last player on tour to have a child.

Mother or not, it sure was embarrassing for WTA for her to come out of retirement and
win a GS that quickly. That USO was her fourth or fifth tournament after coming back.

Oh well....all the commentator's were in Awe of her after she won that GS

By the way Margaret Court also left the tour to have a baby and came back and got back her no 1 position...also The Gong had a baby and came back on tour and won Wimbledon....those were the days.
