Former U.S. Open champion Kim Clijsters is seen here during an exhibition match in Luxemborg. Clijsters retired earlier this year at age 23, got married and is now expecting her first child with her husband, basketball player Brian Lynch.

Fellow player Lindsay Davenport, who recently won the Bali International just three months after having son Jagger, is calling on Clijsters to make a similar return after she gives birth in January. "I have to talk Kim into coming back," said Davenport. "I don't think she has any plans to do it but we'll try." And I thought my friends were pushy when they tried to get me to take a shower before my three-month postpartum checkup.

Tennis star Lindsay Davenport heralded her return to tennis by winning her first tournament just three months after giving birth. Doesn't that make you feel like a lazy slug? When I read the article I spilled my bonbons and nearly fell off my Barcalounger.

Davenport, who gave birth to son Jagger in June, took the Bali International in Indonesia on Monday. She then traveled on to Beijing, where she won the opening match in the China Open yesterday. Girl's got game.
