I love Kim Clijsters, she is a truly great tennis player, she is very popular amongst people like me who love to collect autographs, she is friendly and charming and very accomodating and not rude like you find so often from sports stars who have huge ego trips going on around them, and dont even stop to give you the time of day, we are fans who idolise many sports stars and it really wouldnt be too much of a hrdship to be kind and polite. so it was sad when ms Clijsters retired a good few years back, but fear not, she is back around which is great news for all her fans looking for an autograph. she was Returning to the scene of her greatest triumphs, Kim Clijsters looked like any ordinary working mother (hence the reason for going quiet for a few years - to have a child) when she strolled into Flushing Meadows in New York City USA on Saturday - oh by the way john mcenroe is a great guy as well that is always happy to sign an autograph for a sports fan.
It was kids' day at flushing meadow and the National Tennis Centre was packed to the hilt with young kids, , teens and families keen to get an early look at the world's best players practising before the last grand slam of the year started on Monday 31st august 2010
If it was not for the camera crews and autograph hunters that followed her aropund (but hey who am i to complain) , Clijsters might easily have been mistaken for any other New York local, chilling out and soaking up the atmos and joining in the excitement on a lovely warm summer day.
But Clijsters is more than just another interested spectator. She is the defending women's champion, she is on a 14-match winning streak in New York and a source of inspiration to millions around the world.
The Belgian had won the title for the first time in 2005 but a wrist injury prevented her from defending her crown. She missed the following two years after taking time out to start a family.
