Countdown: Top 10 memorable moments of the 2009 women's tennis season

Our dear reader Teerin is contributing to Women's Tennis Blog once again, this time by creating a countdown of the best moments in the 2009 tennis season.

Teerin would like to have been able to include more memorable situations, but YouTube videos can't be more than 10 minutes long. Which WTA moments would you add to Teerin's Top 10? I would include the emotional retirement of Ai Sugiyama and also, I would put Kim Clijsters' US Open win on top of the list.

Teerin, thank you so much for your continuous and active support of Women's Tennis Blog.

Defending champion Jelena Jankovic moved into the second round of the Kremlin Cup by beating Yaroslava Shvedova 6-4 5-7 6-1. Kim Clijsters also won her opening-round match on Tuesday, defeating Meghann Shaughnessy 6-2 6-2 at the BGL Luxembourg Open.

Shvedova had upset Jankovic in the second round of the US Open in September, but the Serb avenged the defeat by winning five successive games in the third set to defeat the Kazakh in Moscow. Jankovic’s next opponent will be Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic.

At the BGL Luxembourg Open, the other tournament played this week, second seed Kim Clijsters won her eighth straight singles match and the first one since capturing the 2009 US Open title. It’s worth noting that the Belgian is a five-time champion of the Luxembourg tournament.

Kim Clijsters’ 2010 tournament schedule: quality over quantity

Kim ClijstersKim Clijsters quickly made a tremendous success after recently coming back from retirement, but her priorities have stayed the same, and those are of course her daughter Jada and husband Brian Lynch.

The Belgian, who has propelled to No.17 in the rankings after just one month back on the Tour, plans to play 12 tournaments in four continents next season, including all four Grand Slams.

"It's not that I will add extra tournaments to try and become number one or anything. I just hope that I can achieve good results at the tournaments that I play and get more points like that," said the 26-year-old who used to play 22 to 23 tournaments per year.

The young mother may add three to four events to her 2010 schedule, but she is confident that she can organize her schedule in such a way that would not disrupt her 18-month-old daughter's routine. (source: Reuters, photo via Sony Ericsson WTA Tour)
