BRUSSELS -- Kim Clijsters will play a ceremonial farewell match on Dec. 12 against Venus Williams.


Clijsters retired from tennis after the U.S. Open in August but announced on her website on Monday that she will face her longtime rival in the Kim's Thank You Games at the Antwerp Sports Palace.


The 29-year-old Belgian, a four-time Grand Slam winner, initially retired in 2007 only to make a return to the sport two years later. This time, she insists her retirement is f

I thought her farewell match was against Robson? Seems odd considering it's just an exho, not a real farewell match.

How many times has she farewelled us? :rolleyes:

Ah, I don't mind her playing exos, but is she really calling this a farewell match? She should just buy beer for Belgians again.

I thought it weird it'd be against Venus.

It's lovely that Venus agreed to this. I hope this will be streamed. It is nice that her farewell match will be against a long time rival. Losing to Laura was a symbolic changing of the guard but it would have been nice to lose against someone she's had more history with.

Yanina? I know she's not top 10 but she is still a top 30 player and made finals this year.

Just go away already :rolleyes:


This farewell tour has been longer than Henin's comeback.

Yup, this is approaching comedy levels. What if she ever decides to World Tour Tennis or Grand Slam Legends or other events aimed (or partially aimed) at retired players?

Re: Kim Clijsters sets farewell match
 

How many farewells does this bitch need? :lol:
