Video: Clijsters Outduels X-Man in Amazing Net Exchange



Antwerp tournament director Kim Clijsters presented the title trophy to Andrea Petkovic today and nearly pushed Xavier Malisse into the pit with a ridiculous sharp-angle shot.

The former world No. 1 showed she's still got fast feet, quick hands and a flair for mischief in today's mixed doubles match.

In an Antwerp exhibition pitting Clijsters and Dick Norman against Malisse and Sabine Appelmans, watch Clijsters pulled off the Kimpossible angled backhand with a little bit of help from the net.

The rally heats up 18 seconds into the video when Malisse makes a high backhand volley. Watch Clijsters retrieve a backhand near the baseline, move into the court then go head-to-head with X-Man in a sharp-angled exchange that ends with a little help from the net that sends the former French Open doubles champion near the photo pit.
