What a story. What a player. In May this year Kim Clijsters (stepped) on to Centre Court at Wimbledon, a (retired )player invited for a gentle workout in an exhibition to test the new roof.
Four months on she's the US Open (champion). As comebacks go, there are very few to match it (across) any sport.
The Belgian took two years out of the game during which time she got married and had a baby daughter. (Incredibly), this is only her third event back.
The (final) itself was of high calibre, full of outstanding rallies, great excitement and smiles on each side of the net. It was the perfect (antidote to) Serena Williams' shameful shenanigans.
