Clijsters' French Open fear
Kim Clijsters fears she may not be fully fit in time for the French Open.
Clijsters has not played for a month after tearing a tendon in her wrist during her win over Angelika Roesch in the Pacific Life Open in California.
"This injury is profoundly disturbing the planning of my tennis year," she was quoted as saying in Belgian daily Het Belang van Limburg.
"I'm fearing that I won't enter Roland Garros with the confidence that I will be part of it into the final phase."
The world number two said she may have to write off Roland Garros and concentrate on mounting a credible challenge at Wimbledon, where she was beaten in the 2003 semi-final by Venus Williams.
Clijsters added it was doubtful whether she would play in Belgium's Fed Cup clash with Croatia in Bree on 24 April.
"It's perfectly possible that I will only decide that same day whether to play or not," she said.
Although Clijsters is right-handed, she plays with a double-fisted backhand, which would make it impossible to play with the injury to her left wrist.
Clijsters has one of the busiest schedules in tennis. She played over 100 singles matches last year along with some 50 doubles matches.
The French Open runs from May 24 until June 6 with Wimbledon beginning on June 21.
