Clijsters strolls to victory

Clijsters is fast becoming a force in women's tennis

Kim Clijsters eased to victory in the final of the Seat Open, beating Lisa Raymond 6-2 6-2.

The 18-year-old Belgian faced little resistance from her American opponent, and achieved the win in just more than an hour.

The world number five has now amassed five singles titles in her career, two this season.

Clijsters also reached the final of the French Open at Roland Garros, where she lost to Jennifer Capriati in three sets.

And she has made it through to the quarter-finals at six out of seven tournaments, including Wimbledon.

It is the second time Clijsters has won the Seat Open, her first success came two years ago.
