MELBOURNE — Defending champion Kim Clijsters battled back from a painful ankle injury to oust China’s Li Na in three thrilling sets Sunday as Rafael Nadal remained in clinical form at the Australian Open.
In an enthralling day at sun-drenched Melbourne Park, Czech player Tomas Berdych’s win over Nicolas Almagro was met with deafening boos, and Juan Martin del Potro, Victoria Azarenka and Agnieszka Radwanska all went through.
Belgium’s Clijsters looked on the verge of quitting when she rolled her left ankle in the first set, and despite gritting her teeth and playing on she looked down and out facing four match points in the second-set tiebreak.
But the despairing Li saw Clijsters save all four, culminating in a brave drop-and-lob combination — and the Belgian took the set as the flustered Li netted, and then went long.
