Clijsters, who had been seeded No. 2, pulled out after injuring her right foot at the Unicef Open in the Netherlands on Tuesday.
“I have no other choice now but to rest, recover and to not play tennis for a few weeks,” she said.
The tournament starts Monday.
Clijsters, a three-time United States Open winner, hurt her right ankle in April while dancing barefoot at her cousin’s wedding. She played at the French Open but lost in the second round. She said Tuesday’s injury was not related to the previous problem.
In a 7-6 (5), 6-3 loss to Romina Oprandi in the Netherlands, she skidded to the net and stumbled on the first point of the second game. She appeared tentative for the rest of the match, although she did not call for treatment.
Well I guess this was inevitable really. And probably better for her in the long run
It's too bad.
I could honestly care less if the Williams sisters succeed in their comeback, frankly I'm hoping for a brand new Wimbledon champ on the women's side anyway.
