After having not competed on the WTA circuit since last year's US Open, Former World No.1 Kim Clijsters is set to make her return later this month at the Chicago Fall Tennis Classic.
The Belgian was granted a wildcard entry to the inaugural WTA hardcourt event, which will take place from September 27-October 3 2021.
"Thanks for the wildcard @ChiTennisFest," Clijsters tweeted. "Looking forward to visiting Chicago for the first time and getting back on tour again."
The 38-year old had knee surgery in October 2020 and has been at home recovering and training for her return to tennis. Clijsters retired in 2007, but came out of retirement in 2009 before retiring again in 2012. The four-time Grand Slam champion came out of retirement for a second time in February 2020, but has not competed much due to the Covid pandemic and her subsequent knee surgery.

- On the subject of potential Losers in Tennis... Why is the tennis media avoiding the news that Giorgi and Family robbed their landlord in Florence? Apparently they did some Midnight Marketing and stole antique and collectible items belonging to the landlord's family (including large furniture and miscellaneous Family History items). The old guy and his mother just want their 'history' back, even though they are losing thousands of Euro's in 6 months of unpaid rent. This man makes it clear the father is the main player behind this sudden disappearance (and the tax dodging in Italy).
mandoist20-05-2024 - Seems like Emma is taking the Giorgi and Bouchard route -- using occasional Tennis as a media hit for their alternate ambitions (zooming sponsors, photo shoots, magazine covers, TV commercials, anti-Social Media postings, hiring photog's to make "informal" shots of her on vacation, etc., etc.) Hey, WTA! Hey, Sponsors! You're being played to the tune of millions of misspent Euros and Pounds!!mandoist20-05-2024
