PARIS - World number two Kim Clijsters played unbelievable and the luckiest shot of tennis history in her match against Dutch minnow Arantxa Rus.
The match result was also shocking as Belgian tennis star faced her first Grand Slam defeat in 15 outings. But at least she will able to take from the game the memory of the luckiest shot of her career and probably ever seen in the game.
40-0 down and trailing 2-1 in the third set, Clijsters needed a lucky break and boy did she get it when her return from a fierce Rus serve struck the net cord, bounced onto the top of the netpost and rebounded back into play for one of the most bizarre points ever seen in the sport.
