Clijsters retired from tennis after the US Open in August, but announced on her website on Monday that she will face her long-time rival in the Kim’s Thank You Games at the Antwerp Sports Palace.
The 29-year-old Belgian, a four-time Grand Slam winner, initially retired in 2007 only to make a return to the sport two years later. This time, she insists her retirement is for good.
