Does tennis have a budding Angelina Jolie on its hands? Kim Clijsters wants to expand her family once she really, really retires from pro tennis. "I have always said that my goal in life is to adopt so that is something that I want to start working on when I am done playing," she says in a WTA video interview (see below). No word if the child she has in mind is going to be from Cambodia or Ethiopia or Vietnam. Or maybe she'll go the Malawi route like Madonna. What she doesn't want is her 3-year-old daughter Jada to follow in her footsteps. She can be "whatever she wants, but not a tennis player," are Clijsters' exact words. She also tells the interviewer that her dream match would be playing against Billie Jean King "just to see what it was like back then." Where's a time-traveling DeLorean when you need one?
