Kim Clijsters: would she be more famous if she focused on s*x appeal?
The Belgian tennis player, Kim Clijsters is the 2010 United States Open winner. The twenty-seven year old Kim has so far captured a total of three major trophies in her professional life and her tennis aptitude is hard to argue with.
However, in spite of the fact that the Bree resident has successfully defended her U.S Open title this year in New York, she is not the most famous tennis contender on the tour.
In fact, the Bilzen born is far from it.
Some other, spicy, young and s**y tennis players have grabbed the attention away from the right handed Clijsters even at the time of her pinnacle.
Bettor.com throws some light on the reasons for her lesser popularity and fame among the tennis fans all around the world.
1. Clijsters is not into fashion
Kim Clijsters is one of those few tennis players on the tour who does not care about her overall appearance and outlook while playing tennis on the court. The Belgian is never caught up in matching her dress to the place where she plays like her American
fellow, Venus Williams. People, on the other hand are more interested in watching and talking about flashy tennis stars on the courts these days other than their overall game.
2. Kim is not social
The Belgian tennis sensation has not become a household name like the World number one, Serena Williams, who has also crossed the thin line between pop culture and sports.
It is now a thing of the past for professional athletes to be solely recognized on the basis of their athletic skills. The World now is more interested on their off court activities and happenings.
3. She is not a hottie Russian
Some Russian sensual beauties like Maria Sharapova and others on the tour truly fascinate the public these days. Even, if they fail to perform up to the mark on the court, they are still talked about in terms of their beauty and style and remain a hot topic
of discussion.
4. Flashy dressing
It is certainly not the fault of the 2010 United States Open champion that she does not look like Elena Vesnina. She can’t do anything in that case, but she can look good and wear attractive clothes.
5. She is not an Italian
Italy has produced some charming tennis players over the last few years. Kim, however, is cannot match their power of attraction.
6. She is not an American
People all over the World are fond of American beauty and there are many gorgeous tennis stars on the tour that belong to the United States of America. So the competition out there is quite tough for the not so good looking Belgian.
7. Clijsters is not ripped
Majority of the famous tennis stars gather the attention of the World with the help of their eye-popping physical appearance. Kim does not have rippling muscles like Martina Navratilova or Serena Williams, however, it might not be such bad thing.
8. The Belgian is more like....
Justine Henin captured the United States Open title back in 2003 as well as in 2007, however, like Clijsters she does not have the appealing looks or psyche, the fans crave in their favourite tennis stars.
9. She has not dated anyone popular
The 1.74 meters tall Kim is married to Brian Lynch who is a basket ball player that majority of us have never heard of. Therefore she has not managed to steal the headlines like her fellow player, Anna Kournikova who dated Enrique Iglesias, a pop sensation.
However, in spite of the fact that Kim Clijsters is not the prettiest on the tour, even though she does not does not wear s**y outfits on the courts, even though her personal life is not talked about like a famous Hollywood affair, she is still the 2010
United States Open winner and deserves full credit for her achievements on the court.
