2026 Madrid Open, WTA CEO Steps Down & Fan Q&A | Love All w/ Kim Clijsters

Join 4-time Grand Slam Champion Kim Clijsters and tennis reporter Blair Henley as they break down the biggest headlines — a mystery illness sweeping the Madrid Open, Hailey Baptiste's viral racket smash, the Vondrousova anti-doping case, the CEO of the WTA stepping down, and the Taylor Fritz–Morgan Riddle breakup. During the fan Q&A segment, Kim reflects on the surprising "post-Slam" loneliness she felt after her 2005 US Open victory and offers tactical advice on overcoming first-round jitters through constant foot movement. The discussion dives into the high-stakes world of tennis media as Blair explains the decision-making process behind "spicy" on-court interviews, while Kim recounts the comical origin of her legendary doubles partnership with Ai Sugiyama. Closing on a personal note, Kim shares the story of when her sons realized she was a famous tennis player. Welcome to Love All!
