Kim Clijsters Year Quotations

I would have loved to have played another year under his guidance,

If being the year-end number one was my main goal, I would have entered more tournaments. If it happens, great. If it doesn't, that's not going to make my year worse.

That felt really good, I didn't think I would start the year like this,

I still have few things to work on but it's the last grand slam of the year and the one I always look forward to.

It would make the year even more special,

It would just make the year even more special, but it's not like it's on my mind now, ... If it happens, great. If it doesn't, that's not going to make my year worse.

It's very hard to believe and an amazing feeling to have, ... After being out for so much of last year it's a little bit more special.

After the year I had last year, this is the cherry on the cake, it just tops it off.

After the year I had last year, this is just the cherry on the cake. Obviously, it's a great feeling to get back to No. 1. It's always nice to get there.

I played pretty well today and stayed aggressive because she is a tough opponent, ... This is where it all started for me so I'm really pleased to win again here today. One year ago I was injured, some months ago I was ranked around 130, and right now I am really pleased that I'm healthy and playing well.

I feel better this year than I did last year. I've had a really tough draw so far. I really still feel like everything has to be at your best, especially against Amelie. She mixes her game up so well. She can be very aggressive but then she can mix in the slices and the spin ball.
