Clijsters spoke after the announcement and admitted that she can't wait to see how she will do now she has had a child and that she is willing to push herself as a result.
"It's hard to believe that I've never played in Charleston," said Clijsters.
"I'm excited to visit the city and get to play the famous green courts. I can't wait to see everyone courtside in April! My biggest motivator has been the personal challenge involved - both physically and mentally, I want to test myself again," said Clijsters.
"With so many inspirational athletes and moms competing, I can't wait to get back on the match court and see what's possible after having three children."
