At Least One Bounce Went Right For Kim Clijsters In Her Second-Round Exit
Kim Clijsters, seeded No. 2 in the French Open, lost to Arantxa Rus (real name) in the second round yesterday. She fell 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 to the 114th-ranked player in the world. But it wasn't all bad! Clijsters also had one of the most fantastical bounces we've ever seen in tennis. This is the kind of shot that calls for an apology and a roll of the eyes at the universe's cruel vision of fairness. My bad, you tell your opponent, all the while thinking to yourself Yeah, you're damn right I got that bounce.
