Clijsters survives car crash to reach WTA Championships final

DOHA: US Open champion Kim Clijsters reached the final of the WTA Championships on Saturday despite being involved in a "scary" car crash on the way to the Khalifa stadium.

The vehicle was abandoned by the side of the highway, and a replacement quickly summoned and although Clijsters was said to be okay she was conspicuously slow in getting into her stride.

"We just had a car accident on our way to the courts! So scary......Bob (Verbeeck), my manager took the hit," Clijsters said on Twitter.

"We are all okay....Just the car is ready for the junk yard."

Here's wishing the comeback queen Clijsters ALL THE BEST for the final

Well done! Seriously in Islam we believe that if anyone commits an act of injustice on another and the oppressed one wishes something against him/her then the wish of the oppressed is granted. So may he and all reckless drivers out their get what they deserve.. Aameen! Glad your ok..

In your opinion, all the car crashes are the result of over speeding?

Thank God she's ok but stuff like this, though it may have been a genuine accident caused not by reckless driving, can actually do Doha's reputation of unsafe roads further damage! Which I believe they do not wan't what with the bid and all. Ah well..Qadrallah Mashafa'al!

Well how amazing then to be able to play like that!

I admire her even more now....

And to the Landcruiser (didn't seem to be Qatari driven) that drove me off the road so it could get one place ahead of me at the traffic light yesterday....(I and the passenger were less than an inch from being trashed)......i cursed you with the evil eye
