Kim Clijsters saved two match points against her countrywoman, 7-time grand-slam champion Justine Henin, to win the Brisbane International title 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (6). The defending US Open champion showed that she could win a very tight, hard-fought match against an opponent who had bested her many times in major finals. Henin immediately withdrew from next week's tournament in Sydney.

Clijsters Beats Henin In Thriller Forcing Her Withdrawal
Kim Clijsters saved two match points against her countrywoman, 7-time grand-slam champion Justine Henin, to win the Brisbane International title 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (6). The defending US Open champion showed that she could win a very tight, hard-fought match against an opponent who had bested her many times in major finals. Henin immediately withdrew from next week's tournament in Sydney.
And apparently has also withdrawn from the AO, according to one source I read today.
ReplyDeleteMust be something beyond ego that was injured in her match with Kim!!!
