REUTERS: Four-times Grand Slam champion Kim Clijsters plans to come out of retirement after a seven-year hiatus, returning to the WTA Tour in 2020, the 36-year-old Belgian said on Thursday.Advertisement"I don't really feel like I want to prove something," Clijsters said on the WTA Insider Podcast."I think for me it's the challenge.
"The love for the sport is obviously still there. But the question is, am I capable of bringing it to a level where I would like it to be before I play at a high level of one of the best women's sports in the world.Two years after winning her first major at the 2005 U.S. Open, an injury-plagued Clijsters decided to quit the game at the age of 23 to start a family, returning two years later to claim her second U.S. Open as an unranked player in only her third tournament back.
With 41 titles to her name, Clijsters hung up her racket after the 2012 U.S. Open and later worked as a tennis commentator."I feel like I've had more energy these last six months or so than I've had in the last two years because I'm taking care of myself better," Clijsters added. "Even if I don't make it, this whole process has been so worth it for me to get back into a good routine."
