WWW Brisbane 1st Rd : Kim Clijsters vs Simona Halep

First meeting between Kim and Simona.

kim should have this one

this is a nice-ish 1st match, but that top half of the draw is a killer. clijsters, stosur, ivanovic and serena ouch

Lets go Kim!

Halep might upset her BUT LET'S HOPE NOT!! Let's go Kim! :cheer:

kim easily...she'd have to be horribly off to lose

Come on Kim. win easily

I'm sure Clijsters will lose no more than three games.

:woohoo: It's so good to see Kimmy back on tour... GL! :bounce:

Hopefully Simona Halep

kim

Kim should have this one

this would've been more interesting if it's played on clay.:oh:

Kim will probably win but all things considered...this would be a good time for Halep to really take her chances:shrug:

Halep upset GOAT Sveta in Canada :oh:

Kimberly in 2 in a snoozefest.... Then she'll trash VIP next :sad:

What happened to ''She'll be back, and lose her next match''? :(

oh i think kim will get past ivanovic, but having a dangerous player in the 2nd match back after basically 6 months away is never easy.

kim could possibley face 4 slam champions in a row after her 1st round lol

No, I know, I just wouldn't have expected you of all people to include Ivanovic in that group considering how you feel about her :lol: :p

i have to give her fans something to cling to, now bali is no more she has nothing :sad::tape:

Kim in 2.

6-3 6-1

please kim win this

Medusa in 2. 6-1, 6-1.

I think this should be a nice match for Kim to hit some form.

Halep is weaponless and rather benign. She can be annoying if you're having an off day, but she's still a terrible player.

Go Kim.

Would be great to see Halep put this overhyped grinder back in her place, but sadly this won't happen :(

Kim in 2

This is a good opponent to get Kim started. Her draw could offer some matches

Practice session match.

Too bad is not clay...I really like Simona Halep as a player, big potential, so I'm going for the surprise even through is very hard, but Simona is a good player when she is attacking.

Diana for the win.

so never then :lol:

so never then :lol:

Remember her match against Kuznetsova. Anyway, she is not playing the same, I saw her many times playing at junior level.

i agree she has nice strokes, but she stands so far back and does nothing with the ball. she could be a better player than she is for sure.

Kimona :lol: No seriously, Clijsters in 2, something like 6-2 6-3

The better question is, will Simona Halep last more than 60 minutes?

so never then :lol:

She does for a while (first set against Serena at Wimbledon) and then gets nervous and pushes the ball back over the net the rest of the match. :tape: When she plays sucky top players like Li and Kuznetsova she can still get away with it, but not Clijsters.

if Halep wins this I might just have to puke. If the universe unfolds as it should, Kim in 2 straight forward sets.

The GOAT in two easy sets :)
