Kim Clijsters將復出參加巡迴賽？ - 網球 Tennis

之前只看到WTF那邊有張貼類似的新聞，但現在YAHOO也證實了這則新聞，
所以真確性應該蠻大的，一切要等禮拜四的記者會來確定。
不過Kim五月起已排了一系列表演賽，看來她應該很想念網球。
如果她復出的話應該瞄準今年美網！

Clijsters to announce plans amid comeback rumors

BRUSSELS (AP)—Former top-ranked Kim Clijsters will hold a news conference
Thursday amid reports she is planning a return to the WTA Tour.

The 25-year-old Belgian, who retired two years ago, will “unveil her plans
for 2009” at the tennis center where she has been recently training.

The Het Belang van Limburg regional newspaper said she was set to enter
top-level tournaments. The VTM television network said she may target the
U.S. Open, where she won her only Grand Slam title in 2005, as the highlight
of her season.

A spokeswoman for Clijsters did not return phone calls.

Though she no longer has a WTA ranking, Clijsters could receive wild cards
for any tournament she wants to enter.

Clijsters retired from the WTA Tour in May 2007. She married pro basketball
player Brian Lynch and gave birth to a daughter, Jada, in February 2008.

Fellow Belgian star Justine Henin retired last year while still ranked No. 1.

In her last competitive match two years ago, Clijsters lost in the Antwerp
Diamond Games final to France’s Amelie Mauresmo before a capacity crowd of
14,500 at the Sport Palace.

Clijsters recently announced she would play Steffi Graf on May 17 as part of
a series of exhibition matches at Wimbledon to test out the conditions under
the new retractable roof on Centre Court.

She is also scheduled to play a June 14 exhibition at the Ordina Open in
Rosmalen against Michaella Krajicek, plus two matches for the St. Louis Aces
in the World Team Tennis league this summer.

Clijsters reached four Grand Slam finals and won 34 singles titles overall.
She won two Grand Slam doubles titles and held the No. 1 ranking for 19 weeks.
