Clijsters v Pierce In US Open Final
I have this weird tendency to find patterns in the weirdest of things. Quite often, in cricket and tennis - my favourite sports. Take this one for instance. In 2005, Lindsay Davenport made it to the finals of the Australian Open and Wimbledon, losing both, one to Serena Williams, the other to Venus. Mary Pierce made it to the finals of the French Open and was destroyed by the Belgian Justine Henin Hardenne. Now she makes it to the finals here and takes on another Belgian. What are the odds then of Clijsters breezing to her first and long overdue Grand Slam title ? To make the analogy stronger, both Pierce and Davenport are veterans on their last legs in professional tennis.
