U.S. Open: Women's Finals


"Second Serve"
Photo taken at U.S. Open by Cole Scott Photography

Woo Hoo! Women's Final tonight and I'm parked in front of the tube to watch. Kim Clijsters us back after a two year "retirement". We saw her play the first week while we were at the Open and it was a wonderful surprise. She's one of my favorite players. She beat Serena Williams last night in an upset. She was definitely dominating the match but it became complicated by Serena's unprecedented meltdown after a bad call.

Clijsters is playing a 19 year old from Denmark, Caroline Wozniacki, a wonderful player. Should be great!!!!!






11:00PM  PostScript:  Clijsters won 7/5, 6/3
 

Thanks Fox Sports for this great shot of the new winner of the U.S. Open, Women's Event, Kim Clijsters with her adorable baby, Jada.

Books: thanks. I sent your comment to the photographer (my husband).

Susan: thank you. it's a shot of the feet of Lisa Raymond's doubles partner, Shenay Perry.

Brian: thank you. yes, I was surprised by Serena's loss of composure. Very surprised. She's going to be the poster child for bad behaviour now. And after all those years the USTA tolerated Connors then McEnroe.
