well done!! very consistent match! some great serving, lots of winning serves, 75% 1st serves in the first set!
just too good, too fast for Ivanovic!

Woohoo! She played really well. It was a very smart match from Kim. Her backhand looks great. She is gaining confidence in her serving I feel. She'll have to play a little better and sharpen her returning in the next round though. Come on Kim!!

Some good tennis from Kim! Not excellent but she did well.

Still think she can improve her footwork though.

Well done Kim.

Keep improving!

Congrats to Kim.. Ana is my fave but Kim was favourite and makes it 6:0 for her vs. Ana

Hashim. · Aug 1st, 2012, 07:17 PM

Maria next up. I remember their last match like yesterday. What an amazing comeback it was by Kim.

Give your best effort Kim. Please win.

Kim is last up on Centre Court. Maria will be tough... Kim will come to play though so come on Kim!

I live in New York City and our largest radio station Z100, were giving away tickets to Arthur Ashe Kids Day and they were naming some of the tennis players that would be there and they said Kim but... the DJ said her last name so wrong. She said Clijsters like... Clitsters... CLIT!

I just about died.

^ LMAO

Portuguese Eurosport commentators used to call her "Cleesters" in 2001/2002

So glad that Kim is in the quarterfinals

And that she'll be playing against Maria. Looking forward to that match & hopefully Kim can come away as the winner & get to the medal rounds. One step at a time.

Robert-KimClijst · Aug 2nd, 2012, 06:13 PM

Such a bummer. At least Kim can leave Wimbledon with a well-fought match (even if far from her best tennis) on Centre Court rather than that other match.

Hashim. · Aug 2nd, 2012, 06:15 PM

She lost 6-2 7-5. Just not good enough today.

I am not sad that she lost today. I am sad about the fact that there is only one tournament left.

pedropt · Aug 2nd, 2012, 07:03 PM

Kim's inability to move properly gets maximized on grass, the result was kinda expected. At least she lost to Maria! It was a win-win situation for me, so I'm not as sad as I was after Wimbledon.

I agree with Hashim., it sucks much more that there is only one tournament left. I will cry like a baby

Kim will be #29 next Monday, so she will probably be seeded at her last tournament. But 25-32 get 1-8 in R3

Sarah<Kim-fan> · Aug 2nd, 2012, 07:26 PM

I really believed she could get a medal the way she played those first 3 matches...
today Maria was serving and playing too good, and Kim wasn't playing good enough...

nicky · Aug 2nd, 2012, 08:08 PM

somewhat expected, but still dissapointing. I do think it came down on Kim not playing well enough, Maria was good but not that good.
I do wish she would play at least one warm up in the hard court season...
