Australian Open - Women's Final
3 Kim Clijsters d 9 Li Na - 36 63 63
Kim was down a set & a break (36 2-3), then she changed her racket...
Kim's finally gets a 'different' Slam to go with her 3 US Open titles.
Kim: I finally feel like you guys can call me Aussie Kim cuz I won the title.
Since her return to the game she has played 5 Slams & has won 3 of them.
Kim has now won 41 career titles - 31 of them have come on hard courts.
The win will bump her up to #2 in the rankings. Only 140 points behind #1.
She has entered the event in Paris - a Sf run there will move her to the top.
Kim last enjoyed a top 2 ranking way back in 2006.
Enjoy Kim while you can:
I do think this is probably my last full season that I'll be playing.
I also would like to try and keep going until the Olympics.
I've never played the Olympics, which is in a year and a half time...
Yeah, so and then we'll see after that. But, uhm, when I started again,
I had the Olympics in my mind. I wanted to try to keep going till then.
