Kim Clijsters!  The signs for Serena’s lack of anger management were there at least 4 years ago.  Take a look at this poll I found that was taken in 2005 on TennisForum.com.

It’s a welcome sight to see two smiling players on the court during tonight’s final of mom (Kim Clijsters) vs. kid (Caroline Wozniacki).  And I don’t think we’ll be seeing any line judges being threatened tonight.

Update: Congrats to US Open 2009 Champion Kim Clijsters, 7-5 6-3 over Caroline Wozniacki!

  • I don’t know if it’s just me, but Safina is the worst #1 tennis player ever. #
  • Wow, back-to-back upsets going to a final set tiebreak. #
  • Another great night of matches at the US Open tonight! #
  • This Stepanek is embarrassing. How did he ever get to the fourth round playing this poorly. #
  • Nadal vs. Monfils is one of the most athletic matches I’ve ever seen. #
  • Oudin is going to get killed by Wozniacki tonight. It’s like playing a bigger, more powerful, and consistent version of herself. #
  • Wozniacki def. Oudin 6-2 6-2, this is what we call regression toward the mean. #
  • Wow. How did Soderling end up winning that tiebreak? It’s like he woke up after breaking his racquet at the end of the 2nd set. #
  • If Soderling manages to pull this out, it has to be one of the biggest comebacks ever. #
  • Nevermind, Federer’s letting me go to sleep now. 6-0 6-3 6-7 7-6 #

“I didn’t say I would kill you.  Are you serious?”  Kim Clijsters was about to win the match anyway.  And Kim isn’t mean.  Looking forward to watching Clijsters vs. Wozniacki tomorrow in the final.
