Kim Clijsters announced her return to tennis during the US Open earlier this year and that the plan was to start at the Australian Open next month.
Despite that Clijsters sustained a knee injury during training which meant that it was up in air; when she was coming back to the sport; but it has been revealed she has returned to training after some good rehabilitation.
"In early November, Kim Clijsters sustained a severe tear in her right MCL during a game of padel," said Clijsters' team in a press release.
"Official diagnosis: grade 2-3 sprain of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) (ligamentum collateral mediate). No surgery was required; Kim has been undergoing treatment and rehabilitation under the supervision of Sam Verslegers of Groep Sam at the Kim Clijsters Academy in Bree (Belgium). Given the positive progress, she has returned to the tennis courts and practice schedule last week."
The Belgian will now make her comeback in Monterrey in March; then will step it up with two well known events in Indian Wells and the Charleston Open; as she goes back onto clay for the first time in 9 years.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
