Venue: Indian Wells Tennis Garden

Time: 11:00 A.M

Players Report:

On Saturday, World No.1 Kim Clijsters is ready to show her dominance against Barbora Zahlavova Strycova in the BNP Paribas Open 2010 match at Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

Kim Clijsters has won 36 WTA singles titles and 11 WTA doubles titles. She won the US Open singles title in 2005 and 2009. She has also won the WTA Tour Championships singles title in 2002 and 2003. In doubles, she’s won the French Open and Wimbledon titles in 2003.

In May, Clijsters failed to defend her title in Warsaw, losing in the second round to Julia Vakulenko 7–6(3), 6–3. This was Clijsters’s last professional match until 2009. On 6 May 2007, citing injuries, Clijsters announced on her official website that she was retiring from professional tennis immediately.

Two years later, on 26 March 2009, she officially announced during a press conference, that wildcards for the Cincinnati and Toronto tournaments had been granted to her. Additionally, she said she would be playing in this year’s US Open, after which she plans to evaluate the comeback in terms of success and the feasibility of combining it with her family life. Clijsters also stated that she preferred to think of it as a “second career” instead of a comeback, because so many factors (marriage, a baby, the recent death of her father) were different compared to her first career.

Clijsters then receives a wildcard to play at the 2009 BGL Luxembourg Open in Luxembourg, as the second seed. She eased through her opening match 6–2, 6–2 against Meghann Shaughnessy but fell to Patty Schnyder in a close second round encounter 4–6, 6–3, 6–7.

Playing an exhibition match in Antwerp, Belgium on 10th December, Clijsters defeated rival Venus Williams 6–1, 7–5. She finished the year ranked 18th.
