A LONG EIGHTY-EIGHTS FOR A SWEET BELGIAN
This year marks the retirement of one of the nicest women in tennis, Kim Clijsters of Belgium.
She must be awfully tired of listening to questions about her possible reconsideration of her decision to retire by the end of the year. Her indecisiveness in the past has had a lot of people wondering if she would truly have the heart to leave the tour at such a young peaking age. Her geniality stands out from the the rat race of the highly commercialized tour full of women who are “fighters” for points and stare at each other up and down for intimidation effect…or not.
But, get over it, people! Kim is determined to have a normal life with her kitchen, dogs, friends, and husband-to-be Bryan whether or not she has that bediamoned racket at Antwerp. One can guess the line coming now: What good would that diamond-studded racket be if it cannot talk back to you?
In short, smart decision.
Clijsters is now vying for the title at the 2007 Diamond Games and this, being a favorite tournament (see how much of a patriot she is?), would surely rank high among the special moments in her career. It would be extra special if she can really win it for the home crowd.
In her honor, here is a short clip of the beautiful (I personally love her beauty) likable woman who has baffled and dazzled tennis fans all over the world for the past years.
