Kim Clijsters to take part in US Open singles, doubles, mixed doubles

Three-time US Open singles titlist Kim Clijsters is going to make her last tournament in her career to be the most memorable and productive one. The Belgian former world number one has announced that she will be taking part in the singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles events at this year’s hardcourt Grand Slam tournament.

Clijsters already announced earlier this season that she will be retiring from the tour for good after the US Open tournament.

“My mindset is not any different. I haven’t played many matches or many tournaments. I really believe that physically I can do it. have trained very hard for the last year to try and stay in good shape.  I feel that I’m probably in maybe the best shape that I have been in. I’m not worried that, you know, that I’m physically not ready for it,” Clijsters said when asked how she views her participation at the US Open.
