as an interesting note : Kim Clijster's father was a very successfull soccerplayer in Belgium and after his career he sold his golden trophee to donate the money to an orphanage.. Her father has passed away unfortunately but he taught his daughter an important lesson in life...and apparently she didn't forget.. Nice, real nice..
