I don't think that she'll retire... Perhaps she'll come back like Marat did last year: remember LA? And then he still played through pain... what marat did was dumb though. hope kim doesn't make the same mistake and come back too soon. |

The wrist again... 03-10-2004
Kim Clijsters' injury appears to be not too serious. Ice, rest, inflammatory drugs and a brace (again) should have her ready for 2005.
During the sixth game of the semi final against Bovina, Kim felt a sudden pain in her left wrist on a difficult backhand. The pain only got worse, even after treatment. Retiring from the match had become inevitable.
New medical examination and Medical Image Analysis (echo review and NMR analysis) revealed a new injury in the left wrist, close to the old injury (which repeatedly showed completely recovered on previous examinations and NMR).
This time, the problem is most likely the tendon of an important wrist extensor (extensor carpi ulnaris). Luckily, the tendon isn't severely damaged. Possibly some filaments have come off, or the tendon sheath. Further examining over the next few days will give final proof.
Ice, rest, inflammatory drugs and a brace (again) are probably the most important now. Further treatment will be discussed together with Kim's entourage and the wrist surgeons doctors Kinen and Verstreken. A new surgery is not being planned for the time being.
After being out for so many months, Kim was more than ever ready to return to her previous top level. This she proved during training as well as during the first two matches. The new injury is quite a blow, but will be and shall be resolved. After being out for a couple of months, Clijsters will be a full 100% ready for 2005!

well i have heard a completely different story as WTA Tour Doctor has seriously told Clijsters to think about her career as she will not be ready for a long while.
Reall really hope she is not anothe Martina Hingis.

And even Lleyton said they don't really know what the problem is  .... well, anyway it's probably really disappointing for her as she just came back on the tour  |

i agree it is just disapointing kim getting injured and the fact here chances of here being her best again is slim
