Belgium Honors Clijsters

The city of Antwerp in Belgium has honored native tennis great Kim Clijsters with a small museum of sorts, highlighting her career. Clijsters plans to retire at the end of this tennis season and Belgium wants to ensure that her legacy endures.

Beginning in February, Kim’s most important trophies and other career mementos will be housed in a showcase at the entrance to the Sportpaleis, one of Belgium’s most famous sports arenas. Included are her first WTA trophy, her US Open trophy, her number one ranking trophy, her Masters trophy, and five awards for Sportswoman of the Year in Belgium.

The “Kimuseum” will be open to fans and tourists daily in Antwerp. For her thoughts on this honor, visit Clijsters official web site at kimclijsters.com. Lawn Tennis News also offers a glimpse of Clijster’s trophies.
