Clijsters marries secretly

Retired tennis star Kim Clijsters tied the knot with US basketball player Brian Lynch in a secret morning ceremony on Friday.

The civil ceremony was officiated by Jaak Gabriels, the mayor of the northern Belgian town of Bree, who said the ceremony had taken place at 6 a.m.

"This has been organised on the request from Kim, to keep the ceremony as low key as possible,'" Gabriels told VRT radio.

A chuch ceremony reportedly will be held on Saturday.

The wedding comes just days after the Belgian star, the former World No1, announced she was pregnant with her first child.
