It was heartwarming to see 18 month Jada completely unaware of sharing the spotlight with super mom Clijsters. Kim clijsters recently returned to the sport after a two-year break, during which she got married and started a family.
It was an “aha” moment for working women/ mothers across the world to see a mother match the tenacity and defeat a 19 year old. She defeated Caroline Wozniacki 7-5, 6-3 in a hard-earned, hard-hitting victory that earned the 26 year old a place in history as the first mother to win a grand slam victory since Evonne Goolagong took the US Open title in 1980.
As I scoured through all her interviews this interview caught my attention, Wozniacki was giving a press meet and she said " Kim had nothing to lose she played for the joy of playing and I think that’s why she won the match." Kim Clijsters also in one of her interviews commented “it was meant to be a practice exercise and not a tilt at history.”
Motherhood gives two options to a woman, the option of bidding good bye to professional life or the super mom route. The return to the professional world comes with a price and fear of not being able to do both. But Clijsters proved all those naysayers wrong.
Thank you Clijsters you made every working mother proud .
