Kim Clijsters, who will retire after the U.S. Open, responds to other player’s complements about how they will miss her personality.
"I think for me the most important thing is I've always followed my heart," she said. "I've always done what I felt was right. I've always stayed true to who I am. Players change. I've always followed my roots. I think that's something in this kind of lifestyle where you get kind of when you're young and you start doing well. There's so many other things involved than just tennis and practicing. I think you see players kind of losing the true sense of life, and of the sport. And I'm glad. I have no regrets. I know I always gave myself 100 percent."
