Belgium's former World number 1 Kim Clijsters won the final in 58 minutes towards Venus Williams 6-2, 6-1 to win her second Sony Ericsson Open title in Miami Saturday.
Clijsters faced no break points throughout the final. In addition, she won 17 points in a row in the second set, while Williams won only eight points throughout the set.
The third-seeded Williams was one victory away from winning her fourth title at the Sony Erisson Open and also her third straight title, but the 14th-seeded Belgian ended the 15-match winning streak of the American seven-time Grand Slam champion. The two are now leveled at 6-6 in career meetings, with Clijsters winning both their encounters since returning to the Tour.
Clijsters defeated the following players on her way to the $700,000 prize in Miami: Petra Kvitova, Shahar Peer, last year's champion Victoria Azarenka, Samantha Stosur, Justine Henin and finally Venus Williams.
This achivement is projected to lift Clijsters back into the Top 10 for the first time since she returned to the Sony Ericsson Open WTA Tour last year.
I think that Clijsters has had everyone impressed by her hadly work over this months. It is impressive because not everybody starts playing tennis again after retairing. I believe she wil conquer more tournaments in the futere, and if she continues like that, she could possibly become the number one of the world.
Sounds impressive. Why did she retire in the first place?
ResponderExcluirI think it was because she had children.
