Love is a prominent word in tennis and it was especially so Monday at the U.S. Open. Besides the Pete Sampras retirement ceremony, women’s No. 1 seed Kim Clijsters and beau Lleyton Hewitt, the sixth seed, were in action. Despite Hewitt’s recent struggles, Clijsters backs her man. “I think anyone out there would love to change their career with his,” she said. “[The media] is always going to try to break the player down as soon as it’s not going well.”
