Clijsters not contemplating early retirement

Kim Clijsters told TENNIS.com today that she is not contemplating retiring earlier than planned.

The Belgian Journalist and former touring pro Filip Dewulf reported that she was considering so, and Tennis Channel mentioned DeWulf’s tweet in a Monday morning broadcast. The frequently injured Clijsters says that while she is considering changing her practice regimen and possibly her overall schedule, she is still planning on trying to win the two Grand Slam crowns that elude herâ€"Roland Garros and Wimbledonâ€"and playing the London Olympics.

After falling to fellow Belgian Yanina Wickmayer at Miami, Clijsters, who has been dealing with ankle issues for the past year and has only played two events in 2012, said that she was playing at less than 50 percent.

Clijsters later tweeted: "I am not quitting!! Not yet! I have some great tennis left in me! Just making that very clear!"â€"Matt Cronin
