Congratulations for Kim Clijsters, winning the US Open after a two-and-a-half year hiatus from Tennis. Clijsters apparently felt burnt out and wasn't having fun, took the time off, got married, had a baby. I was rooting for Caroline Wozniacki, the runner up (mostly because she's cute) but Clijsters clearly deserved to win.

She's the first mother to win a major since 1980. (Evonne Goolagong, Wimbledon)

I was good up until the having a baby part. The actual having of the baby is not fun. Having said that, I was ecstatic that she won.

I'm sure the actual having of the baby is not. OTOH, while pregnant she wasn't suffering knee and back injuries on the court or dealing with the Pro Tour stress, so there's that.
