It was her second US Open title and second major singles title overall. Clijsters was the first unseeded player and wild card to win the title, and the first mother to win a major since Evonne Goolagong in 1980. Following her win, she appeared at world No. 19 in the rankings. It was only Clijsters' third tournament since giving birth and coming out of retirement, and has been described as one of the most stunning championship runs in tennis history.https://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/14/sports/tennis/14women.html Clijsters Wins U.S. Open Women’s Title Liz Robbins The New York Times 13 September 2009 Serena Williams was the defending champion, but was defeated in the semifinals by Clijsters. A foot fault was called for Williams at the end of the second set, producing two match points for Clijsters. Williams argued the call and was given a point penalty for intimidating a line judge, ending the match (having already had a warning for racquet abuse earlier in the match).US Open -- Novak Djokovic not the only one to have officials derail a championship run ESPN Svetlana Kuznetsova's loss in the fourth round guaranteed a first time major finalist from the top half of the draw.
