Kim Clijsters is making another WTA Tour comeback, receiving a wildcard for this week's Chicago Fall Classic.

Kim Clijsters has not played competitively since last year's US OpenClijsters had announced retirements in 2007 and 2012

Clijsters, who received a wild-card invitation, will face Australian Open quarterfinalist Hsieh Su-wei in the first round. Clijsters, a mother of three who wakes up at 5:00am at her family's home in New Jersey to train, hasn't competed since a first-round loss at the 2020 US Open a little more than a year ago.

She did lace up her trainers for a friendly contest against Sloane Stephens at the Atlanta Open in July this year, losing 6-4, 6-4. "When I lost in the [2017] US Open final, and was obviously not in the best place, she found me and gave me the biggest hug and said: 'It's OK. It took me [four] before I got one. Don't worry about it.'
