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."

Second seed Ana Ivanovic once again demonstrated her supreme mental strength as she fought back from a 3-6, 0-3 deficit to defeat fourth seed Daniela Hantuchova 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the final of the FORTIS Championships Luxembourg.

The 19-year-old from Belgrade had triumphed in Berlin and Los Angeles earlier in the year.

Ivanovic credited the support of the crowd for helping her to get through the second set and make such a comeback. Besides the amazing spectators, Ivanovic’s change of strategy played an important role: "I told myself when I was 3-0 down in the second set that I needed to be more aggressive. It was a riskier approach but better that way, and it worked for me." (photo via TSF)
