Kim Clijsters will be one of the great attractions of the women's team at the next US Open in New York (August 31 – September 13). At 37 years old, the Belgian tennis player wants to show that she can still recover her level of yesteryear and has a great showcase for this at the US Open, where she will attend after receiving an invitation.
Clijsters, who already knows what it's like to win in New York (he did it in 2005, 2009 and 2010), He showed his excitement about his return to Flushing Meadows, where he will miss the support of the public. “I am very excited to go to play in New York. I have not played many full matches in the World Team Tennis League, but I have played several sets and I feel good. It is clear that playing in an official tournament again is the next step. . It will be strange to play without an audience in the stands, but it is still a tennis match and I will have my coach and my team supporting me. “
The Belgian tennis player also spoke about her return to competition after almost eight years away from the circuit (her last match before returning was in the second round of the 2012 US Open) and acknowledged that she still has tennis to show. “My return I have not done for the outside world, I have done it for myself. I had an impulse and that motivated me. If I did not have the confidence that I have when I play tennis, then I would not have returned. I know, I still have good tennis In Myself”.
