New mum and newly-crowned US Open champion Kim Clijsters received a warm welcome on her return to her home country of Belgium.

The grand slam winner celebrated her first return to professional tennis in style in the US, after her two-year break from the game to start a family.

Her success on the court in her ladies' fitness wear will no doubt serve as encouragement to any new mums keen on getting back into their own women's gym wear.

Fellow grand slam winner Justin Henin has also praised the Open champion.

She said: "What you have come to achieve there is incredible. I very warmly congratulate you with your magnificent victory."

Clijsters beat both Serena and Venus Williams to reach the final of the event.

Meanwhile, British youngster Heather Watson also triumphed in the US Open Juniors final, providing the Brits with something to celebrate too.
