Kim Cljisters Comeback Is Complete She Wins The 2009 US OPEN!!!!

Kim Clijsters of Belgium has defeated Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark 7-5 6-3 to win the 2009 Women’s US OPEN. Clijsters is now a two time US OPEN champion and her ranking is now in the WTA top 20.

Clijsters story is remarkable and simply incredible she retired two years ago got married, had a child, and now she’s back on top. I am so proud of her!!!

Clijsters was criticized when she retired in 2007 but Clijsters has proven there is more to life then tennis. Clijsters will now have a break from the WTA tour and concentrate on her family.

She fought hard to win the first set after Wozniacki had a 5-4 lead in the first set.  In the second set, Clijsters just rolled over Wozniacki by pushing her back with her power.

Clijsters won $1.6 million dollars and Wozniacki won $800,000 dollars.

The WTA desperately needs a good storyline, Clijsters has brought back some excitement to women’s tennis.

Kim is the first mother in twenty nine years to win a grand slam event since Evonne Goolagong Crawley won Wimbledon in 1980.

She is also the first wild card to ever win the US OPEN.

Wozniacki is a talented young player, but has a very uninspiring and boring game. Wozniacki plays excellent defense but that’s not good enough against the top players. Clijsters simply overpowered Wozniacki with her incredible, powerful, groundstrokes.

Clijsters also has an impressive serve and she hit several aces in the match,

Wozniacki l needs to develop some weapons if she is ever going to beat the elite players consistently.

Clijsters proves she is a part of the  “real” elite along with the Williams Sisters, Maria Sharapova, and Svetlana Kuznetsova. I don’t consider Jelena

Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic, Dinara Safina, or Elena Dementieva to be a part of the “real elite” because they are not multiple slam champions.

Clijsters is the  second Belgian to successfully defeat both Williams Sisters and win a grand slam event. Justine Henin defeated both Venus and Serena to win the US OPEN in 2007.

The Belgian people must be so excited right now since Clijsters has returned to grand slam glory!!!
