Summary
Unseeded Kim Clijsters won her second U.S. Open championship with a 7-5, 6-3 win over Danish teenager Caroline Wozniacki, who was seeded ninth. After a match-winning forehand, Clijsters, 26, celebrated with her 18-month-old daughter Jada and her husband Brian Lynch. Clijsters is the first mother to win this tournament in tennis' Open era (1968-present) and the first one to win any major since Evonne Goolagong won Wimbledon in 1980. She came here as an unseeded wild-card entry, needing an invitation into the main draw because she didn't have a computer ranking after retiring two years ago so she could become a wife and mother. Mens final will be played today between Roger Federer and Juan Martin Del Potr.
