Kim Clijsters shared with the world the photo of her half-a-month old baby Jada. The Belgian former world number one, who retired from tennis nine months before giving birth to daughter Jada, is on the latest cover of the Dag Allemaal magazine, together with her husband Brian Lynch and their baby.

All proceeds from the sale of the photos go to the Buba & Butma project, which helps orphaned children in India after the tsunami.

Belgian former world number one Kim Clijsters gave birth to a daughter on Wednesday, nine months after retiring from tennis at the young age of 23.

The former US Open champion and her husband, US basketball player Brian Lynch, got married last year in July, and shortly before that, Kim’s father had announced Kim’s pregnancy.

The couple named their baby daughter Jada, and everyone is feeling fine in this family.

"The parents and the baby are in great shape," spokesman Jeroen Jespers said.

The baby was born at a hospital in Tongeren, Belgium. (source: Chicago Sports, photo via Clijsters' official website)

Now I have photos of two pregnant tennis stars on the homepage — Kim Clijsters and Anastasia Myskina, and who knows, soon we might add Nicole Vaidisova to the list — but don’t worry Women’s Tennis Blog won’t become a pregnancy-oriented blog. Anyway, for those of you still keeping track of retired Kim Clijsters, this is how the former world number one looks now.

What do you say? Not bad at all! Our Fiona lookalike seems very happy.

Kim Clijsters played an exhibition match last month at the FORTIS Championships in Luxembourg. Pregnancy didn’t prevent the former world number one from playing her beloved tennis. Other participants at the exhibition included 1998 Wimbledon champion Jana Novotna, Roberto Blanco, and Dan Spogen.

Will Kim Clijsters follow the footsteps of Lindsay Davenport and make a comeback? I think she will, but I don’t think that will happen so shortly after giving birth as in Davenport’s case. Here’s what Clijsters herself said about this: "That is about the last thing on my mind. I'm not even half way through my pregnancy. I'll enjoy that first. I do play a bit once and a while though, together with Caroline Maes."
