The Arrival of Laura Robson
Laura just played superbly showing great serves, powerful groundstrokes and she did not panic at all as Kim fought her way back several times in the first and second sets. Laura just knew how to pick herself up when she made bad shots. At 18, that's an impressive sign of maturity!
In her third round match, she outplayed French Open champion Li Na, playing much better and showing no fear or nerves at all. With that win, she secures a spot in the fourth round, the first time she does that - and she will meet, yet another grand slam champion, this time, the defending US Open champion!
Saying Goodbye to Kim Clijsters the Second Time Around
When I saw the draw, I knew Laura Robson was going to be a tough opponent for Kim Clijsters, but I didn't fully expect her to bundle out Kim in two sets! I actually thought Kim would be able to reach as far as the semifinals before bowing out, but it was not meant to be, as Laura played superb tennis and held her nerve throughout their match today.
My favorite Kim moment was her epic French Open final with Serena Williams, way back in 2002 I think. Anyway, it was probably one of the best women's French Open finals I have seen and Kim played superbly well, although she lost to Serena. At that time, Kim was still tagged as the best player NOT to have won a Grand Slam. Of course, she made reparations for that years later, and she now has several Grand Slam titles to her name.
We'll definitely miss you Kim, au revoir!
