  • Following her first comeback in 2009, she went on to win three more Grand Slams.

    While she won two US Open titles, in 2009 and 2010, she also won the Australian Open in 2011.

    She pocketed the WTA Finals in 2010.

    After an average performance in the next couple of years, followed by multiple injuries, she announced her second retirement in 2012.

    "Mothers are trying to compete at the highest level"

  • Clijsters has credited her daughter Jada for motivating her to make a comeback, as they both play basketball together to train and keep herself fit.

    "It's great to be an example of what you have to do and not do to be an athlete, and get the best out of yourself," Clijsters further reckoned.

  • The return

  • Clijsters said that she won't play the entire season as her children are still young and she cannot stay away from them for long.

    "For my youngest, it is not really a big deal, but for my eldest, it's important to not take her away from school, her friends and her basketball team too much. We need to find a balance," she concluded.
