Kim Clijsters is clearly having a hard time staying away from Tennis. She is a mother of three children and always seizes the opportunity to return to the game. Ever since she retired for the first time at 23, she kept returning to the professional court. The Belgian champion ensured she was always associated with Tennis, irrespective of her retirement. 

She started ‘Kim Clijsters Academy’ in the town she grew up. Her academy in Bree, Belgium, opened in June 2019 but closed in July 2022 due to a global pandemic that led to a financial crisis. Recently, she announced another comeback to the court through her Instagram.

The official account of Luxembourg Ladies Tennis Masters released a video of Clijsters announcing her comeback. She said,“…I am really, really excited to come back to Luxembourg and to try to defend my title. I am joining with great great female Tennis players/champions. It’s going to be really tough to try and win the title again. But we look forward to seeing you there and come and support us…”
