See you in 2020: Kim Clijsters confirms comeback on Twitter; and her no. 1 fan just can't keep calm
Jurgen Melzer said that once she is back, he will be her no. 1 fan.
By ET Online |
Motherhood indeed comes at a cost. Be it giving up months of proper sleep or your passion or job for a while. However, there's always room for a comeback, even if it's after years.
Tennis star Kim Clijsters, too, is set to make her second comeback on the court at the age of 36. On Thursday, while posting a video on Twitter, the International Tennis Hall of Fame shared the news with her fans. The video played glimpses of her training sessions, her children and family life and moments on the court. It concluded with 'See you in 2020'.
Minutes after the post went live, it was flooded with thousands of likes, retweets and responses from her fans who simply can't wait for her return. Tennis pro Jurgen Melzer, too, expressed his excitement about the same, and said that once she is back, he will be her no. 1 fan.
Hi guys, I’m excited to finally be able to share this news with you… #wta #2020 https://t.co/tm7jYMEwrH
The newly-blessed mother of three took her first break from the game at the age of 23 in 2007, shortly before exchanging vows with American basketball player, Brian Lynch, and two years after winning her first U.S. Open title. She returned to the tennis court later and became the first mother to collect the Grand Slam singles title at the 2009 U.S. Open after Evonne Goolagong at Wimbledon in 1980.
While Clijsters is still not sure of when, where and how often she will be able to compete, her résumé loaded with milestones and millions of fans believe otherwise.

Strawberries and cream owe their iconic Wimbledon connection to the warm British summer. It is assumed that the ritual began as early as in 1514, when Thomas Wolsey, an extremely powerful figure in the court of King Henry VIII built a grand palace along the riverside, now known as Hampton Court. This year, however, the classic dish is undergoing an upgrade for millennials what with the introduction of a vegan version of strawberries and cream. The vegan cream is made with soya. With a consumption of 27 tons of strawberries and 7,000 litres of cream every year, the availability of a vegan version is a relief to the animal-friendly.
