September 25, 2009 - Kim Clijsters announced today that she will represent her home country of Belgium in its Fed Cup by BNP Paribas World Group 11 first round tie against Poland in February, 2010.
This will be Clijsters first return to the Fed Cup after a two-year rest away from the game to give birth to her daughter Jada, now 18 months old. In August of 2009, Kim returned to tennis to compete in the Cincinnati Masters (now known as the Western & Southern Financial Masters) and Toronto's Rogers Cup. After her shocking victory against Serena Williams in the US Open Semifinals, Clijsters took the crown defeating World Number 5 Caroline Wozniacki. It was her second US Open win since 2005.
Clijsters will join her Belgian team at the beginning of next year for its tricky first round tie in Poland. Belgium's Fed Cup team also includes Yanina Wickmayer and Kirsten Flipkens. The Polish team, which has gained promotion to World Group 11 for the first time in history, is led by sisters Urszula and Agnieszka Radwanska.
Clijsters is hoping to team up with newly unretired Belgian Justine Henin. The two led Belgium to the Fed Cup title in 2001.
