The Belgians

I'm feeling smug: I tipped Kim Clijsters for the top 5 & to be a Slam contender in my 18 Aug blog. I never expected her to win the US Open, but who did, in only her third comeback tournament ? I was also musing how great it would be if Henin came back as well. Guess what ? This week Henin called a press conference to announce her comeback. Henin said Clijster's’ success was only a small part of her decision to unretire, though announcing it only a week after the US Open suggests it played a much larger part in her decision than she is letting on.
