In the thread in the former pro section we all seemed to agree Kim and Sabatini were head and shoulders above the rest. It wasnt that big a shame Jana won only one slam when she was mostly just a grass/carpet specialist anyway, even though she could have won another Wimbledon. It was a shame Martinez never won the French, but she probably shouldnt have won any slams outside of the French anyway, especialy not a Wimbledon.

In your dreams. People were saying similar things when in the 2004 Wimby Final with Serena vs. Sharapova. Serena will get some payback. Count on it.

Indeed. I dont even like Serena but you can expect her to win more slams next season as well.

Only if she gets back into the shape she was in at the 2004 US Open...the days are over of her waltzing through slams giving no effort to tournaments outside the majors.
I hope that she does get in shape...the Australian is her best slam (if she's not suspended by the Grand Slam committee for her behavior yesterday).

I am so happy for her. She (along with Davenport and Mauresmo) was my favourite and I was so hoping she would make her way back to the court. She appears to be such a nice person, truly warm and empathetic and the other players really respond to her. She is a great role model both on and off the court and I wish nothing but the best for her in the future.

What are you talking about? This thread is about Kim and her victory. Take your juvenile anti-Serena comments and troll in any of the thirty or so threads that were created just for that very reason. Comprende?

Do not expect repeat performances. At the height of her skill + prime playing age, all she could squeeze out is one slam. Now that she's older, add that to actually facing real slam contenders (unlike her finals opponent) in a slam final, and the results may be quite different.

But not only did she take out Serena in this slam but also Venus, Bartoli, Na, and a hot-playing Wozniacki (even if she is a pusher haha). If she can do that after coming back (and not really thinking too much of it until about 3 months ago), I think she has a few more left to win.

First of all, Clijsters is playing better than she did in 03 -- hitting FH much flatter and its not breaking down in big matches like it did then.
Second, Clijsters problem was always mental -- being a mom has seemed to solve that.
Third, the field isn't anywhere near as strong as it was in 2003. Unless Henin comes out of retirement, Clijsters can easily win 2-3 more majors.

I agree. It is pointless to diminish Clijster's win TV...she is fit, healthy and determined (something a great number of players are not right now).

Congratulations to Kim Clijsters on winning the 2009 edition of the US Open!
This is a well deserve victory and I'm nothing but happy for her!
And best of luck to Caroline Wozniacki. Lack of experience was her foe today (and a very capable and composed Clijsters, too ). We should all expect much more from her.
This is a good turnaround in woman's tennis.
Much better than the *shudder* uggh... Serena vs. Jankovic
monstrosity that we had to endure last year
Horray for real tennis returning to the WTA!!! Now if only Henin would come back and Sharapova could get back into form, it will all come full circle.

Kim Clijsters won tonight. She'd won the US Open in 2005 and could not defend her title in 2006 due to a wrist injury. She met (in Europe) a basketball player from New Jersey, they married, she had a baby. After playing an exhibition match at Wimbledon in mid May(in celebration of the new roof) she started training, and three tournaments in, wins the US Open. She was unseeded and required a "wild card" to even get in.This is the first time a Mom has come back to win a Slam in almost 30 years (I might add, she really plays ball).

Yay! That felt great. Come back, get into a major, win it.
A little too easy, in a way wouldn't you say? (meaning the woman's game in general is a little weak). Heck I don't think clijsters could find a tougher route to the finals!
Ahh maybe some others will return! Maybe the woman's game is about to get fixed again.

thanks...
ps: today i'm very sad with this forum. seems like people only care for gossip, tantrums, rafa's hair cut, serena's showdown, sucking on the teats of Fed's tweener (an good shot but nothig unseen) ... it's a complete depletion of tennis cerebral aspects...
