Is Womens Tennis Getting Strong From The Return Of Kim Clijsters?

kim clijsters us open 2009

I love the consistency of womens tennis, but I still find it funny how you can have a match in which you win the first set 6-0 and then lose the next set 6-0!

Currently in the female game I think that there are still 3-4 key players who seem to be in the finals of every tournament they play, but I do think the depth of the womens game is getting a lot better of late. At this years US Open we have seen the return of Kim Clijsters (in which it is great to see her back on court), who has been playing very well and now finds herself in the quarterfinals. However, the point of this article is to discuss how in Kim’s last match she won the first set 6-0 against Venus Williams, but then quickly lost the next set 6-0. It is great to see that Kim sorted herself out to drive through the final set 6-4 to book her place in the quarterfinals. However, do these kind of results still show how hot and cold some women tennis can still be?
