HERE is the first glimpse of Kim Clijsters' latest on-court weapon -a blinding
solitaire diamond engagement ring.
Flashing the rock on her left ring finger, the world No. 2 tennis player had an
extra spring in her step during training on Friday for the Hopman Cup.
While no wedding date has been fixed, she said she was overjoyed at her "surpri
se" engagement to long-term beau and world champion Lleyton Hewitt, 22.
"Lleyton took me out for a dinner and produced all of a sudden a ring and
earrings," she reveals on her official website, describing the proposal aboard
a Sydney harbour cruise.
"I was so happy I didn't know how to react. There's nothing fixed yet, we'll
see how things evolve.
"But let there be no doubt: I am full of joy because of this early Christmas
present."
Belgian Clijsters, 20, attracted several wellwishers at Adelaide's Memorial
Drive courts, where she trained with coach Marc Dehous and Hewitt's sister
Jaslyn.
"Thank you," was all she said as she hurried through the clubroom back to the
court.
The pair will have been dating for four years next month, after meeting at the
Australian Open in 2000.
One of Hewitt's travelling companions on the tennis circuit, Hayden Eckerman,
is tipped to be best man at the wedding.
He was nominated by Hewitt's long-time friend Scott Draper as the man most
likely to hand the ring to the former world No. 1.
"I know Hayden Eckerman has been friends with him for a long time but, other
than that, I don't know," Draper said.
Eckerman and Hewitt have been pals since high school.
Draper said he was thrilled for the pair. "It's about bloody time," he joked.
"I've been giving him a hard time for a while about it but it's great.
"It's somewhat unexpected but they complement each other really well. I think
he's on a winning ticket."
Draper said he got on well with Clijsters."Kim's a wonderful girl and Lleyton's
chosen exceptionally well," he said. "She's fun to be around and a great girl
for Lleyton. She makes him very happy."
