US Open Tennis Tickets – Kim Clijsters Dominates WTA, Eyes US Open
Don’t let Kim Clijsters’ current (as of April 6, 2010) No. 10 WTA ranking fool you. The Belgian netter is the comeback queen of the year, and she’s done nothing but dominate the court since her return to the world of tennis in 2009. Clijsters recently cemented her status as a Top 10 player on the women’s circuit after defeating Venus Williams 6-2, 6-1 for the title at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, and she won’t be completely satisfied until her name again stands proud at No. 1 on the WTA.
Clijsters came steamrolling into 2010 like she’d never left the game of tennis, winning the Brisbane International tournament in Australia in January before experiencing some minor bumps throughout the rest of the winter (see: Indian Wells). When the Sony Ericsson Open rolled around in late March, however, Clijsters readjusted her focus, and after plowing through opponents Petra Kvitova, Shahar Pe’er, Victoria Azarenka, Samantha Stosur and longtime rival Justin Henin she battled world No. 3 Venus Williams for the title. It took just 58 minutes to defeat Williams in two sets, and with the huge victory came a No. 10 world ranking, taking Kim Clijsters one step closer to the top.
While Clijsters spends the next few months gearing up for this summer’s slew of tournaments, the one she’s really got her eyes on is the US Open, where she will defend her 2009 title this year. Clijsters’ 2009 US Open win was a landmark in the “second career” of the Belgian’s tennis years. In 2009, Clijsters came into the US Open after being only three tournaments deep out of a two-year retirement. She exceeded any and all expectations she set for herself in the Grand Slam tournament, defeating Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki 7-5, 6-3 in the finals to win the championship.
Pounding an overhead winner and dropping to her knees after taking match point against Wozniacki, Clijsters snatched her second Grand Slam title in the ’09 US Open, telling tournament press afterwards, “I can’t believe this happened because it still seems so surreal that, in my third tournament back won my second Grand Slam. Because it wasn’t in the plan. I just wanted to come here and get a feel for it all over again, play a Grand Slam so the start to the next year I didn’t have to go through all the new experiences over.”
Kim Clijsters came back to the game of tennis with flying colors last fall, and this year she’ll return to New York for the 2010 US Open with hopes of defending her Grand Slam title. Clijsters’ return to the game is sure to sell <a href=”http://www.stubhub.com/us-open-tennis-tickets/”>US Open tennis tickets</a> like never before, and this August the 26-year-old tennis star will be back on the hard court to pack the one-two punch on the WTA.
Until then, Clijsters will continue to battle her fiercest competitors from the baseline, competing in this summer’s French Open and Wimbledon Grand Slams before finally competing in the US Open in late August. Clijsters has already beaten some of the world’s top women’s players, and she’ll be soaring into this fall with high hopes at another Grand Slam title.
