After the match, Clijsters hinted that her rival had taken an injury time-out for strategic reasons, an allegation that echoed Serena Williams' accusations of gamesmanship by Henin-Hardenne at the French Open. After the U.S. Open final, in which Henin-Hardenne again beat Clijsters, Kim's father Lei made the observation that it was unusual how Henin-Hardenne's "muscle mass has doubled." The Belgian media ran with the comment, fueling chatter...
