Kim Clijsters...Did She Ever Leave Tennis?

Looking to defend her title as the US Open Women's Champion, #2 seed Kim Clijsters took to the court against the 7th seed Vera Zvonereva. Coming off an amazing win against Caroline Wozniacki, it seemed as if Zvonereva had found her form and had controlled her emotions. Let's see if this would prove successful against Clijsters. Let's begin.

In the first set, Clijsters dominated with her powerful forehand and command. Zvonereva tried to keep up but to no avail because Kim would take the first set 6-2.  On to the second set.

In the second, Kim just continued to steam roll through Vera. Vera only garnered 1 win as Clijsters showed no mercy and made Zvonereva eat dust. Kim would go on to win the championship in two sets with 6-2, 6-1.

During the ceremony, it was evident that Zvonereva was fighting back tears as she congratulated Kim and kind of beat herself up, verbally. Kim used her moment at the mic to say "Vera played really well and don't worry you'll get there because you are a very good player so just keep going". Classy Kim...very classy.

Now that the Women's section of tennis is done, we move on to the Men's Final tomorrow with Novak Dkokovic and Rafael Nadal. Happy watching and congratulations Kim.

XOXO,
