Paris WTA - Quarterfinal
1 Kim Clijsters d Q Jelena Dokic - 63 60
With her blistering today win Kim will will return to #1 on Monday's rankings.
She last held the top spot almost exactly 5 years ago.
Tennis history: Kim will become the 1st mother to hold the #1 ranking.
Previously she was #1 a total of 19 weeks between 2003-06.
She is poised to extend that number greatly.
Remember, she has ZERO points to defend at Roland Garros. She didn't play.
Kim has never finished a year ranked #1 - tho she has come close...
She finished '03 & '05 ranked #2 and last year at #3.
Could this be the year? I wouldn't bet against it happening.
All this from a player who claims she's only play another year and a half.
Congrats Kim.
