Jimmy Connors is now 2-for-2, and he joins Ivan Lendl among the two-time winners on the men’s tour. Kim Clijsters bounced back after losing in the final of the last tournament to post her first victory in Gold Coast. Connors and Clijsters both only lost one set in their three matches. One more mini-tournament remains until the Australian Open.
