PARIS,
Belgium's former world number one Kim Clijsters announced on Thursday her return to competitive tennis in 2020, seven years after retiring.
The 36-year-old four-time singles Grand Slam champion revealed the surprise move on Twitter.
"These last seven years I've been a full time mum. And I love it, I really do. But I also loved being a professional tennis player. And honestly I miss that feeling."
