The Stat Line Of The Night — 5/26/11 — LeBron James
Roger Federer may be the master of making the most incredible/impossible shots on a tennis court, but here is one shot that he couldn’t make. Not even in one million attempts.
During the third set of her third-round match at the French Open against 20-year-old Arantxa Rus of Holland, Kim Clijsters returned a serve that somehow bounced off the top of the net, before hitting the top of the pole and bouncing in. It was probably the luckiest point that the second-seeded Clijsters has ever won in her career. However, that luck would be short-lived, as she would go on to lose the match to Rus in three sets, 6-3, 5-7, 6-1.
Here is a look at Clijsters’ lone bright spot during her third-round loss at the French Open. She sure could have used more points like this one.
