Dang!
You guys are quick.
Was just gonna post it myself. :)
Congratulations to Kim Clijsters on a great win.
To take 2 1/2 years off, get married, have a baby, then come back and beat both Venus and Serena at the US open, then actually go on to win the US Open itself. That is virtually unprecedented, especially when you consider that before she took time off t go have a baby, she had lost to Serena 7 times out of the 8 times she had played Serena, and had only won just one grand slam title in all the years she played, the 2005 US Open.
A great win for a very nice girl.
