Director Kim Clijsters?

As you’ve no doubt heard, Kim Clijsters announced today that she is retiring immediately from professional tennis.

While this may come as a relief or a travesty by some of her fans, the good news is that she probably won’t be leaving the tennis world altogether.

Clijsters told Sportweekend that she has been offered the directorship of the Gaz de France Stars tournament in Hasselt after her retirement. It has not been confirmed whether she’ll take the job.

In the interim, let’s celebrate Kim’s career. Het Nieuwsblad has put together a retrospective of the career of their girl, who will be remembered for being one the nicest gals to ever play the game.

Whatever you do Kim, good luck.

That makes sense. I remember when she was out on injury and trotting around with Lleyton Hewitt. It was kind of unclear then whether her wrist would improve enough to let her return to play, and she struck me as someone who seemed at home behind-the-scenes.

But then she got back and won her first and only GS trophy. And she proved that she get out from under Justine and be the top Belgian. Too bad her retirement happened all of a sudden this way, but good luck to her.

Then again, maybe she saw my photo expose on her last week…
