Kim Clijsters missed most of 2004 while dealing with a career-threatening injury. She came into Indian Wells in 2005 ranked 133 and needed a wild card to enter the field. But Clijsters won seven matches to earn her second BNP Paribas Open title in three years, defeating Lindsay Davenport in the finals. Clijsters would have a remarkable spring, also winning Miami. The Belgian won 13 of 14 matches in straight sets, which included six wins against players ranked in the top six. Clijsters parlayed her hard court success into winning her first Grand Slam final in September, the US Open.
