Kim Clijsters, cea mai buna cu “wildcard” la US Open
Daca Kim Clijsters o invinge pe Serena Williams in semifinalele de la US Open, atunci ea va realiza cea mai buna performanta a unei jucatoare care a jucat intr-un turneu de Mare Slem pe baza de wildcard. Aflata intre primele 4 la US Open, Kim a egalat recordul detinut de Zheng Jie, sportive chineza urcand pana in semifinala la Wimbledon, in 2008. In acelasi timp depaseste performantele realizate de Martina Hingis (2002), Serena Williams (2006) si Séverine Brémond (2008) la US Open, care au urcat doar pana in turul 4.
Iata pozitiile in care au ajuns jucatoarele cu wildcards in turneele de Mare Slem:
