Clijsters to miss Fed Cup, Madrid with injuries

AP - Tuesday, April 5, 2011

BRUSSELS (AP)—Kim Clijsters will be sidelined for a month with shoulder and
wrist injuries, forcing her to miss Belgium’s Fed Cup semifinal next week
against the Czech Republic. She is aiming to play the French Open.

The U.S. Open and Australian Open champion said a busy spring schedule
overexerted her right shoulder and wrist. She will not be able to hold a
tennis racket for the next few weeks.

Clijsters, ranked No. 2, also will skip the Madrid Open in the first week of
May but hopes to resume her season on clay in Rome on May 9, giving her two
weeks to prepare for the French Open.

“I don’t want to force anything,” she said on her website. “I want to
avoid at all cost that this becomes chronic.”

Despite promises to take it easy and limit her tournaments, Clijsters
acknowledged she already had taken on too much this year. After winning the
year’s first major in Australia, she played Fed Cup and Paris in February
before heading to the United States for two long tournaments.

First, she pulled out of Indian Wells in the fourth round with a shoulder
injury. Then she lost in the quarterfinals in Miami last week to eventual
champion Victoria Azarenka in a strangely listless performance.

Even then, the signs were already there.

“I felt something was not quite right,” Clijsters said. “There were too
many successive aches and pains that just didn’t want to disappear. It gets
into your head.”

The injury is a blow to Belgium, which faces a strong challenge from the
Czech Republic at home in Charleroi next week. Early in the season, Justine
Henin was forced into retirement because of injury. So instead of featuring
two of the game’s greatest players, Belgium will be relying on No. 23 Yanina
Wickmayer and No. 103 Kirsten Flipkens.

“I was really looking forward to that Fed Cup,” Clijsters said.

Instead, the French Open awaits. She was twice a losing finalist at Roland
Garros and was forced to miss it last year. Clijsters is 27 and at one point
took a 2 1/2 -year break from tennis to start a family. She still wants to
shine at the Olympics in London next year before letting the pull of family
take over again.


小克宣佈因肩腕傷休戰四周 無緣聯杯或於羅馬站復出

　　新浪體育訊　北京時間4月6日消息，近來飽受肩部和手腕傷勢困擾的比利時球後克裏
斯特爾斯正式宣佈，自己將休戰一個月，這就意味著她將錯過下周比利時對陣捷克的聯合
會杯半決賽。

　　這位美網和澳網雙料冠軍聲稱，自己在春季的頻繁參賽使得右肩和手腕發力過猛，未
來兩周都不會拿起網球拍，直到傷勢有所恢復。小克坦言，“我不想強迫自己做些什麼，
只想避免過度消耗這個慢性傷病。”

　　儘管以放鬆的心態征戰巡迴賽，同時限制了自己的參賽站數，但小克自認本賽季還是
參加了過多的賽事。接連在悉尼和澳網上一戰到底後，比利時人在前往美國參加兩站皇冠
賽之前又角逐了2月份的聯合會杯和巴黎賽。而在美國的印第安維爾斯，小克因肩傷止步
第四輪，隨後的邁阿密站竟慘遭最後的冠軍阿紮倫卡血洗。

　　對於頻繁參賽加重的禍根，小克直言，“我覺得不太對勁，有太多持續的病痛，而且
還沒有要消失的跡象。”同樣，傷病也侵襲了另一位比利時球後海寧，並致使這位7屆大
滿貫得主於年初含恨再度退役。

　　由於小克的退出，比利時隊在聯合會杯上將由No.23維克梅耶爾和No。菲力浦肯斯擔
當重任，對戰近來風頭正勁的捷克女隊。澳網冠軍表示自己很遺憾不能為祖國繼續征戰，

“我真的很想去打聯合會杯。”

　　另外，因傷休戰一個月的比利時人也將錯過於5月第一周開賽的WTA皇冠賽馬德里公開
賽，如果一切順利，小克希望自己能在5月9日的羅馬站復出，不過那時留給她備戰法國公
開賽的時間就只剩下短短的兩周。她曾兩次在羅蘭加洛斯屈居亞軍，去年還因傷錯過競爭
紅土女皇的機會。

希望克媽好好保重
不要重蹈去年覆轍再度錯過法網
