Former World #1 Kim Clijsters of Belgium returned to the WTA Tour in Cincinnati Open and has dispatched 2007 Wimbledon finalist Marion Bartoli (6-3 6-2), crafty lefty Patty Schnyder (6-2 7-5) and 2009 French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova (6-4 4-6 6-2 ) in consecutive matches. Clijsters plays World #1 Dinara Safina in the quarters on Friday.
The day did not go as well for the Williams Sisters, who less than 5 weeks after meeting each other in the Wimbledon final forthe second consecutive year played their worst tennis in years to lose hours apart. Venus Williams lost to Flavia Penneta (who has turned into something of a bete noire for the 7-time major champion) 7-6 (2) 6-4 while Serena Williams lost 7-5 6-4 to Sybille Bammer.
