Kim Clijsters – Caroline Wozniacki game, John McEnroe and other events in Tennis Week

The former world no. 1 players will start the event with a 3 set exhibition match. 4-time singles Grand Slam winner Kim Clijsters retired from competitive tennis in 2020. Her opponent, Caroline Wozniacki also retired in 2020 with the Australian Open as her farewell tournament.

Both players have faced each other total of 3 times in the major tournaments. Kim Clijsters won all the 3 matches to date. Though this match would be a fun exhibition game, it would be satisfying for Caroline to get the better of the Belgian for once.

Other players playing in the event would be John McEnroe, Bahrami, Richard Krajicek, and Mark Philippoussis. McEnroe, Philippoussis, Krajicek, and Greg Rusedski will play a doubles game on 19th February.

The last game for the tennis event will be between entertaining Mansour Bahrami and Fabrice Santoro on the next day. The French duo will bring in the “Magic” as per their nicknames and end the event on a high note.

With nearly hundreds of titles and as many Majors among the participants, the event would be a classy hit for the audiences.
