Tennis love match between Clijsters and Hewitt hits rocks
I am scandalised that Kim would use her website to broadcast the big heave-ho for Lleyton, as reported by the New Zealand Herald. "The announcement of the split, "for personal reasons", was made on Clijsters' website. The 21-year-old Belgian added the cryptic line: "Both of us distance ourselves from the malicious gossip which inevitably surfaces in this kind of situation."
However, I am happy to publish any such announcements on behalf of other Magdalen club members (although not my own).

Comments:
I can't help thinking that is more than mere coincidence that the difficulties in their relationship can be traced back to the chance meeting between Lleyton and our very own Paulo Schmetzer (see photo on club notice board) in Australia.
Apparently at a loose end that evening, Lleyton unwisely took up Paulo's invitation of a "bloody good night out", during which the two exchanged tips on the finer points of getting the ball back in play for booze fueled strategies for pulling women.
It can be seen that both these pearls of wisdom have had disasterous effects on their recipients. The beleaguered Lleyton has been dogged by the unwelcome attention of a stream of beauties desperate for Paulo's phone number, causing the unfortunate split with Kim. Paulo, on the other hand, is now convinced he can emulate his mentor and has switched from dumping a single handed backhand into the bottom of the net to screaming a double hander over the back netting.
There but for the grace of God ......
