Kim Clijsters has announced that she will not return to tennis just yet, postponing it for at least 3-6 weeks.
Kim Clijsters has been attempting a comeback to tennis and while she already played some matches it did not go as well as she had planned. She is yet to play this season in part due to several unfortunate things happening. She explained the reasons for the postponement in a Twitter statement she released today.
In it, she explained what had happened since she last played. Firstly she underwent knee surgery in October to repair damage to the knee and reduce pain which went successful. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with COVID-19 in January which completely derailed her plans.
While the illness was thankfully only mild it did affect her training and preparation for the season and after undergoing an intense practice schedule in the past weeks she is not yet ready to return to tennis and compete on the highest level. She once again reiterated her commitment to the cause and promised not the quit. She also thanked Miami Open and Charleston Open for the wild card opportunities.
In the end, she summarised her plans going forward which include a pain management program in the next 3-6 weeks before deciding on what to do next. So we will not see Kim Clijsters on the courts for at least the next 6 weeks. Hopefully, all goes well and we see the former Champ back soon.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?mandoist09-11-2026
- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026
- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
