The 37-year-old Belgian has not managed a win since coming out of retirement for a second time in February, 2020, and her last match was in the opening round of last year's U.S. Open in September.Clijsters was scheduled to return at the WTA 1000 event in Miami starting this month but has been forced to pull out.

The Belgian won her third Flushing Meadows title in 2010 followed by an Australian Open the following season before retiring again in 2012.
