Fila's Kim Clijsters saved three match points to win the Cincinnati Women's Open yesterday.

A year ago, Kim made her official return to professional tennis in Cincinnati where she advanced to the quarterfinals. This year, Kim won a nail-biter final match, after a 74 minute rain delay, Kim won 2-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2  against fellow former Number 1 Maria Sharapova. With this win, Kim became the first player on the WTA Tour to win three titles this year.

As reported by the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, after the match Kim said:

"I was so close to losing and then this dark cloud came," said Clijsters, who finished the match off with a big running forehand down the line. "I thought I was hitting well from the baseline with her but my serve wasn't working well. During the delay I had to regroup and refocus, and when we came back to the court I played aggressively and turned it around. I'm really happy to win."

Kim will debut Fila's Center Court Collection at the 2010 US Open.
