Gauff and McNally are waiting to send her packing every time they run into her.

News-site just reported that Clijsters made a bad knee-movement and has to revalidate for 8 weeks and will miss the Australian Open.

That could be due to the extra pounds she is carrying. The 8 weeks might be the soul searching she needs. :)

She might've prematurely attempted her signature split on the run.

LOL.. what are you drinking today.. "A force to be reckoned with?". .. You know what? I actually agree with you. She keeps acting like she's gonna die, from the first game to the last, but never gives up even when down 0-6 0-5. lol

Clijsters gave access to journalists into a training session this morning, and also gave a press conference.
One of her main quotes: "I hear some talking about winning a slam or becoming top10. When I here that, I have to laugh."

So either she has limited expectations, or at least she tries to lower the expectations of the public... Time will tell.
"Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience"

"Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it"

Clijsters comeback to begin in Dubai, reveals four-time slam champion

Kim Clijsters will launch her comeback to the WTA Tour at the Dubai Tennis Championships this month.

The 36-year-old Belgian, who won three US Open titles and an Australian Open before retiring in 2012, revealed in September she would attempt what will rank among professional sport's most audacious returns to action.

A knee injury sustained in November meant she missed the start of the 2020 season, but Clijsters is just days away from playing again at the top level.

The Dubai event runs from February 17-29 and Clijsters has secured a wildcard entry to the singles draw, joining a field that includes Simona Halep and Bianca Andreescu.

Clijsters wrote on Twitter: "I’m accepting a wild card to play the @DDFTennis. Since announcing my return, there have been a few bumps but looking forward to returning to the match court and what this next chapter brings.

"Thanks to all my fans for their encouragement these past weeks. See you in Dubai!"

She told the tournament's website: "I am really excited to be getting back to the match court. I can't wait to return to the game I love and play in front of the fans again – the support and encouragement that I've received since the announcement has been overwhelming."

Clijsters has also committed to playing at the Monterrey Open, which gets under way on March 2. She also intends to be in action in Indian Wells the following week and plans to play in Charleston in April.

i like Clijsters but if that's what she looks like now, she won't get through the first round. Lucky it's only best of 3. Maybe she can keep throwing down service winners and not have to run too much.

No chance. Let her play the challenger tour get fit then come back. She is taking a spot for someone else who is worthy

I trust that she will lose some weight before she steps on curt or she won't see which her opposition went. I used to love to watch her play and with luck we shall see again some of the tennis she played so well.

The women’s tour is wide open. She’s probably got as much chance as anyone else.

If that is her current size, serena may actually have some white company(in the heavyweight division) but I am sure that she has more self respect than to show up as a fat middle- aged housewife/ lady instead of an athlete. Wish her Well- She was always first class.
