Clijsters is undoubtedly the most dangerous non-seed in the draw. Having been
restricted to six tournaments last year due to persistent left wrist problems
(requiring surgery last June), the former world No.1, now ranked oustide the
Top 100, is playing just her second tournament of 2005.
"I would say maybe today (was) a six-and-a-half, seven. overall," said
Clijsters when asked to rate her performance against Asagoe. "But I haven't
really set goals. I'm so happy to be back and happy to be playing matches; I
just want to hopefully try to play as good as I can in every match that I play."
On Friday Clijsters talked about how the injury nearly ended her career, and
how it will always pose in the future.
"They didn't say, 'You have to stop playing tennis,'" said Clijsters of the
advice she received from doctors during her time off the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour.
"But they said, 'You know, you might never get to where you want to be.' And
that was tough to hear, but you don't really accept that at the time."
Nonetheless, Clijsters has made a much-awaited, and so far successful return
to competitive tennis, having reached the quarterfinals in her comeback event
in Antwerp last month. With a slightly altered backhand swing, to reduce
strain on the wrist tendons, Clijsters pays special attention to the wrist
after each match.
"The main thing now is that my wrist stays well and that I keep doing
everything right, to cool it down after matches and everything," said Clijsters.
"That's my main concern at the moment."
Clijsters meets Chakvetadze for a place in the fourth round.
