    Kim Clijsters, we salute you

    A tribute to the career of Kim Clijsters, who retired from singles tennis after losing to British teenager Laura Robson in the US Open second round on Wednesday.

    Clijsters, three times a champion at Flushing Meadows and with four Grand Slam singles titles to her name in all, is extremely happy despite the shock defeat.

    Mats Wilander and fellow Eurosport expert Barbara Schett hail the Belgian, one of the most loved players to play on the women's circuit.

    The Swede star then takes a look back at her glorious tennis career.

    Enjoy highlights from her final singles match, which finished 7-6(4) 7-6(5), below (she is still in the doubles draw).

    Robson, 18, says she had to focus on one game at a time on such an emotional occasion.

    About Tramlines

    Tramlines spent its formative years living and breathing tennis, watching Yannick Noah berate line judges and admiring Steffi Graf"s backhand slice from the comfort of its couch at home. Nowadays, Tramlines can often be seen wearing Andre Agassi's old denim shorts, sleeping under its desk in an office with an overzealous air-con machine, whilst devouring punnets of strawberries and pints of Pimms in a bid to bring you the best of the world's tennis. It boasts a 100 per cent record against Alex Bogdanovic on clay and has a top-spin forehand frequently compared to that of the great MaliVai Washington.
