MELBOURNE, Australia -- This could be the best unretirement in sports history. Michael Jordan came back to win three championships, but he was already the best ever. George Foreman won the title again, fat and old.
But Kim Clijsters didn't just get back to where she had been before. She has surpassed the first Clijsters by far. She has reshaped her spot in history.
Clijsters won the Australian Open Saturday, beating Li Na 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. It was her third major title since coming back to the tour following a retirement/maternity leave. She has won three of the five majors she has played in since coming back, including the past two.
Is she the best player in the world? And no, I'm not talking about rankings. Someone should take the tour's computer out back and shoot it. It will still have, believe it or not, Caroline Wozniacki No. 1, even though she still has never won a major.
