The Young Guns Kim Clijsters (Belgium) A phenomenal ascent for this Belgian, who at the end of 1998 was ranked 409, but then rocketed to 18 by end of season 2000. This 17-year-old appears a sure shot for a spot in the top 10 during the first quarter of 2001. Born 8 June, 1983, the right-handed player has a career tally of 3 singles titles. Restricted by the Women's Tennis Association's age-eligibility rules to 17 tournaments a year, she will have to wait for her 18th birthday before she can start playing out her full quota of tournaments.
