Many tennis fans were left shocked yesterday, after the match between Kim Clijsters and Venus Williams ended in Clijsters defeating the No 3 seed Venus Williams, sending her crashing out of the 2009 US Tennis Open.
According to guardian.co.uk, Clijsters advanced to the quarterfinals, after beating Venus 6-0, 0-6 and 6-4. The victory seemed to come in the third game of the third set, when she broke Williams’ serve. Williams tried to get the game back but failed.
The Belgian will now go on to face No 18 seed, Li Na of China. If Clijsters defeats Li, it could well set her up to face a semi-final with Venus’s sister Serena, who is the only player amongst the top 5 seeds, still in the tournament.
