I was such a big fan of the kim/justin era. Unique player styles and so much passion and expression in the top 20

[michaelt]

wish i got into tennis early enough to see Kim play. love her style

[hpfme]

My ever favorite tennis player Kim Clijsters 😊

[UchihABitachi]

Li Na was amazing. The quality of her shots is still very much viable in today’s game. You can see the pace & how much spin she has on her shots.

[iamshadowbanned]

Both have solid and powerful groundstrokes, but kim is just much tougher mentally, and has more variety.

[edkiely]

Miss the ol' "scissor-spilts" from the baseline corners! Kim and Justine were phenomenal to watch play when they were at the top of their games!

[KnowTrentTimoy]

Those were the days. LOVE Both their backhands. Li Na and Kim had two of the BEST.

Whats really sad is that the late 90s to 2000 had some of the greatest female tennis players ever. So much talent 👏 kim was one of the best

[theacechip]

Nice clean shot, not exactly rocket tho

[kingston]

Kim is one of the most cleanest hitters ever. That counts for both female and male.

[mygraduation]

Missed all these players on tour, much more consistent and determined on court.

Kim la Hija del Arquero de fútbol Belga en México 1986 . Saludos

[sandere]

Geweldig dat België deze 2 toppers heeft gehad. Daar is NL jaloers op geweest.

[onetwocue]

Thats a classic Kim color. Lime/Kiwi green she was able to pull off

[ТалгатАлпысбаев-ух]

Кимати, машина. Сейчас смотришь тур и нет ощущения, что можно большого игрока, чья игра могла бы вызывать восторг. Да, Халеп и Ига с натяжкой можно назвать ТОР, но это так себе. Время с Ким, Жюстин, Дженнифер Каприати, Моресмо, Янкович и т.д. ностальгия, без сомнения они ХайЛевел

[visittantavichian]

One of the ladies' world tennis player, Kim

[rolsguitars]

I think she returned a ball that was gonna be wide ....but split second decisions you can't blame her

[luvdasitar]

TBH it wasn’t such a rocket backhand. Li opened up herself and it was a relatively simple put away for a pro player.

[kartikk]

Gone is that era where we knew women players as they were consistent.

[deathhunter]

Li gave up away an easy point, should have hit to the other side and finish it easily
