Tennis / Grand Slam Tournaments

Tenis / Torneos del Grand Slam

In 1968 began the so called "Open Era" in tennis, when professionals were allowed to compete in the Grand Slam events, thus abandoning the longstanding rules of amateurism. Professionals, until then a rather small part of the tennis scene, swiftly achieved overwhelming dominance.

En 1968 se permitió participar por primera vez a jugadores profesionales en los torneos de Grand Slam, comenzando así la llamada "Era Open" del tenis. Los profesionales, que hasta ese momento eran una minoría, pronto lograron un dominio abrumador en las competiciones.

Clijsters retired in 2007 and returned in summer 2009. This was only her third tournament back, where she became the first unseeded player to win the US Open (let alone the first wild-car player); and only the third unseeded woman ever to win a GS title. Clijsters has won 14 straight US Open matches, as he had not taken part again in this tournament after her 2005 title. Besides, she is also the first mother since Evonne Goolagong in 1980 to win a major..
Clijsters se retiró del tenis en 2007, pero volvió en verano de 2009. Éste era su tercer torneo desde su vuelta y el triunfo la ha convertido en la primera campeona que no es cabeza de serie. Lleva 14 victorias consecutivas en el US Open, ya que no había vuelto a participar desde su victoria en 2005. También es la primera madre que gana un torneo de GS desde Evonne Goolagong en 1980.
