"There certainly was demand for this and it seemed a nice opportunity to her to start training again, with a clear aim in mind. Training becomes her, but there is no returning to the official circuit," according to Bob Verbeeck of Golazo sports.

It is still early to precisely schedule the exhibition matches, the plans will be unveiled somewhere in March.

On 6 May 2007 Kim Clijsters announced through her web site that she quit professional tennis. On 14 July she tied the knot with Brian Lynch. Together they now have a daughter, Jada Ellie.

In her career as a profesionnal tennis player, Clijsters won no less than 34 titles. She is a former number 1 at the WTA ranking. In 2005 she won her only Grand Slam at the US Open.
