Comeback Kim Clijsters, tennis mom
Kim Clijsters just won a victory for moms everywhere -- with her win in the US Open, she's unbelievably the first mother to win a Grand Slam championship since Evonne Goolagong's Wimbledon victory in 1980.
Yes, Virginia, moms can come back to the workplace and succeed.
"The fairy tale goes on - some how, I'm in the US Open final on Sunday beating both Venus and Serena along the way... am i dreaming???" the Belgian tennis star wrote on her Twitter page -- where the picture is not of Clijsters playing tennis, but of her holding her toddler daughter.
