Kim Clijsters announced on her website that she will finish her abbreviated but storied tennis career on Dec. 12 in her home nation of Belgium, playing an exhibition against Venus Williams. It's a happy go for Venus, having won the Diamond Games in Antwerp twice in four tries in her own career, to take part in this quaintly titled affair, Kim's Thank You Games.
From the not-so-distant archives, here's the shot-making and the drama from the Clijsters-Venus semifinal at the 2010 U.S. Open in New York City, a truly rousing if not always supremely well played match.
