Three-time U.S. Open champion Kim Clijsters has first-hand experience of having a baby and then returning to the court to continue playing at an elite level.
NEW YORK — In the tennis world, the year 2017 is continuing to bask in the renaissance of Rafael Nadal as a major factor in the game.
The Spaniard’s won the U.S. Open trophy on two occasions, in 2010 and 2013, and holds a 47-10 winning record at the Billie Jean King USTA National Tennis Center.
Only Nadal and the retired Andre Agassi have won at all four of the slams and also own an Olympic gold medal in singles.
What could trip Nadal up here is that while he’s had success on hardcourts, he hasn’t won a title on the surface since capturing the 2014 Doha tournament, which always is played the first week of the new year.
