Kim Clijsters: 'What Serena did was impressive!'

The tennis legend Kim Clijsters said she was impressed by Serena Williams` success after her return to the court after she was born. `To return so soon after the birth and to play two Grand Slam finals last year was unbelievable, ` Clijsters said, `People always expect her to win because she has been so successful but to do so soon afteris now impressive, now she looks hungry for success and in better shape than a few months ago. `Serena has more experience than anyone in the scheme, and she has a lot of extra tension and we`ll see how she can handle it. It`s hard enough to be a mother for the first time, then be professional withI can talk about myself, I do not know how it is with Serena It was hard for me to find the balance between wanting to be with my daughter but I knew that if I wanted to play tennis again at high level, to put tennis first in certain moments, it was difficult because you feel guilty, but after a while you get used and find the balance!', said the Belgian. Asked who is the best memory of the Australian Open, Kim did not get one. `It`s hard to pick one, I`ve had so many nice moments here, my match from contact with best sport picks against Li Na when she had points to win the match, and I hurt my ankle, emotionally that was a great win, I always loved the audience`s energy here, evennow that I do not play, `Clijsters said.

Kim is also commenting on the development of the tournament so far:` I am surprised by the victory of Collins over Kerber, and it is interesting to see, for example, Svitolina, who wins the WTA Championship late last season, playing with a lot of confidence, so talented players, Pliskova, for example, there are so many interesting tennis players who can defeat a certain day, but I think Serena with her experience is a favorite.'
