Amazing Grace-Kim

Being a mom changes everything in so many ways. All the things that seemed most important in life, become trivial when a child comes into the scene. Kim Clijsters was frequently torn between guilt of not spending too much time with her daughter and her own drive to win grand slam titles. Winning Grand Slams titles being a mom is phenomenal and Kim Clisters's second run after retirement was even better. She won 2 back to back titles at the US Open and won an Australian Open in 2011. Playing Olympics for Belgium was just as special for her. From 1999 when she began her career playing doubles with an obscure Indian player to finishing up her career in 2012 Olympics with Bob Bryan, Kim Clijsters has shown amazing class and poise. And its not just her backhand or the splits that will be missed. As she says good bye to the tennis world, Kim Clijsters leaves a void that cannot be filled in the Women's tour. For one, she is a people's champion. She won hearts of everyone around her including her rivals and compatriots alike with her modesty and humility. She said in an interview with tennis channel "All humans are equal and just because I win so many titles doesn't change that". Such honest words show the depth of her personality. The only other champion on the Women's tour who touched the hearts of many by her humility was Aranxta Sanchez Vicario. Kim Clijsters can breathe easy now and relish the thought of spending her quality time with family. While the world bids adieu to a genuine person and a champion, Kim Clijsters can be assured of millions of warm heartfelt vibes sent her way in this new chapter of her life.......
