mom. The former U.S. Open champion from Belgium has given birth to
a daughter nine months after retiring from tennis.
Clijsters is married to American basketball player Brian Lynch,
who plays in the Belgian league.
The 24-year-old Clijsters retired in May, saying a string of
injuries had led to fatigue, a lack of motivation and a decline in
play.
Clijsters was Belgium's first tennis player to reach the
Number-1 ranking. She held it for 19 weeks in 2003.
She won her only Grand Slam title at the 2005 U.S. Open, but
Clijsters also won the 2002 and 2003 WTA Championships as part of
her 34 career singles titles.
