Kim & Jada Honored!

Barbie likeness of Kim Clijsters & daughter Jada

After her triumphant return to the WTA Tour last summer, Kim Clijsters and her darling daughter Jada have been immortalized…as Barbie dolls! Yesterday in Nuremberg, Germany at the world’s largest toy fair, Kim and her daughter Jada were unveiled as Barbie dolls! Kim becomes the first female athlete to be immortalized by Barbie.

As reported by the Associated Press & Down the Line Tennis, Kim said,

When I was a young girl I played with my Barbie dolls all the time and took them with me everywhere I went. I am therefore deeply honoured and humbled as I today join the ranks of iconic women who represent Barbie’s aspirational values.

My family means everything to me, so I was really excited when I found out that Jada would also receive her very own ‘Jada Barbie’ doll.

Kim’s Barbie likeness is wearing the Fila Heritage Collection top and skort that Kim wore during her 2009 US Open win. To check out the latest Fila tennis apparel, visit http://shop.fila.com/us/eng/collections/tennis
