Former world No 1 and three-time US Open winner Kim Clijsters is calling it a career after the US Open this year. The 28-year-old Belgium had previously announced that this would be her final season.
At a news conference Clijsters told media, “As it stands I will end my career at the US Open, That is where I enjoyed my greatest triumphs and it is a very special place for me.”
“The stadium is only about 45 minutes away from our house in the United States and my parents-in-law will be able to be present.”
Clijsters first retired back in 2007 due to injuries and pregnancy, but came back to tennis in 2009.
