{blackbabes} Williams meets Clijsters in semi showdown at Open

NEW YORK (AP)—Whether it's starting a family or starting a business, Kim Clijsters and Venus Williams have figured out how to make life about more than hitting a fuzzy yellow ball.

As for that tennis part—well, things are going pretty well there, too.

In the featured semifinal at the U.S. Open on Friday, Clijsters tries to stay on track for her second straight title after a 2 1/2 -year layoff during which she got married and had a baby girl, Jada.

Not a bad second act.

The 27-year-old Belgian is trying to become the first woman to win back-to-back at Flushing Meadows since 2000-01 when Williams did it.
