Clijsters First Into Indian Wells Semis
Kim Clijsters was the first tennis player to reach the semifinals at Tennis Masters Series Indian Wells. The Belgian defeated Russian qualifier Elena Bovina 6-2 6-2. The Russian had been the talk of the town the whole week after reaching the quarters and defeating talented players like Natalie Dechy en route. Even though Clijsters seemed to have had an easy victory, the 14th seed faced more than 6 break points and was broken once in the each set. After the match she admitted that it was hard for her to win points, even on her own serve! To read Kim's interview after the match, click here!

Kim and Lleyton's Relationship in Jeopardy?
I really apologize for all the Kim news having a stupid relation to Lleyton Hewitt. It seems like the only way to find news on Kim is if you look up Lleyton's name. It's sad, but, I think this article is worth it though. It's about Lleyton cooking breakfast for Kim and her parents and it's so funny, and it pokes fun at his aggressive on court antics!!! It's obviously untrue though. Something this funny couldn't be true!Click here to read it.
