			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago it was announced that Kim Clijsters would be returning to womens professional tennis. Kim has had a few years away from the game and im sure she will come back with a bang. I hope Kim performs a lot better than Lindsay Davenport and Martina Hingis when they return from retirement.</p>
<p>In the couple years Kim was away from tennis she has got married and even had a baby. So this time round she will have a lot more life experience and maturity on court and hopefully this will lead to more outstanding results.</p>
<p>The Belgian has mentioned that it will be a tentative return. She will play three tournaments—Cincinnati, Toronto and most notably, the US Open.</p>
<p>Overall it will be very interesting to see how she fair against the like of the Williams sisters and the young girls who are currently on tour.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dinara Safina is now officially the womens world number one tennis player. On Monday Dinara Safina has now joined the group of world number one tennis players. Dinara and Marat as the only brother and sister combination to have every been both world number one.</p>
<p>Safina is still yet to win a Grand Slam title but she has twice reached the final. Dinara Safina is the 19th woman to top the rankings since they were introduced in 1975.</p>
<p>Safina won four titles last year, but lost to Serena Williams at the Australian Open this year, who she replaced as world number one.</p>
<p>It is good to see however that Dinara is still in search of more and more titles.</p>
<p>“He has two Grand Slams,” Safina said of her brother in a video posted on the WTA’s Web site. “He’s still much better than me, so I have to catch him.”<br />
