Thanking the boyfriend
Soon after the match against the Ukrainian, Elise thanked her boyfriend, that is also her coach, Robbe Ceyssens assaying that he is absolutely instrumental in her success.
“I’m without words, I gave it all today… My boyfriend and coach means so much, all credits to him. Kim (Clijsters), thank you for watching and sending me a message!”
