Kim Clijsters Tennis Star Pull Out of US Open 2011

Two-time defending US Open champion Kim Clijsters of Belgium won’t be attempting to win the hardcourt Slam title for the third straight year as she announced her withdrawal from the event due to stomach muscle injury.
In a statement released on Friday, the four-time Grand Slam winner said that “two weeks of rehabilitation is not enough to heal” the injury which she sustained at the Rogers Cup earlier this month.
Clijsters won the Australian Open this year. However, she posted less than stellar results in the other Slam events – she made it only to Roland Garros second round and pulled out of Wimbledon.

Kim Clijsters: Strange twist following Star's Victory

Kim Clijsters got some nice parting gifts for winning the U.S. Open: a check for $2.2 million, a nice, shiny trophy, a hug from her daughter and a two-spot drop in the rankings.

Yeah, you read that correctly. After winning the biggest event in the sport, Clijsters slipped from No. 3 to No. 5 in the WTA rankings. Here's how it went down:

Clijsters earned 2,000 rankings points for winning this year's tournament, but it had no net effect on her old ranking because she was defending 2,000 points via her win in '09. No matter what she did in New York, she couldn't earn any more points.

Vera Zvonareva and Venus Williams could though. Both players were bounced in the fourth round of last year's tournament and earned 280 points in the WTA rankings as a result. This year Venus made the semifinals and Vera advanced to the finals, gaining 620 and 1,120 points, respectively. This enabled both players to catapult past Clijsters.

The lesson to be learned here is the same as always: Rankings don't mean a thing.

Kim Clijsters Tennis Star

TORONTO — Former world No. 1 player Kim Clijsters was one of three players awarded wild cards Wednesday into the main draw of the Rogers Cup women’s tennis tournament.
Clijsters, the 2005 Rogers Cup champion, returned to action this week in Cincinnati after a two-year absence following marriage and the birth of her first child. Clijsters spent 19 weeks at No. 1 in the world rankings in 2003.
“So many things have changed. I got married, had a daughter, and that’s something that has a big impact on my life,” Clijsters said in a statement. “It will change me as a player as well. I’ve been practicing for seven months and I’m looking forward to my second career.”
Clijsters advanced to the third round in Cincinnati on Wednesday with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Patty Schnyder.
Stephanie Dubois and Valerie Tetreault were also awarded wild cards for the main draw, which begins Monday. Dubois will be making her eighth Rogers Cup appearance.
