Lindsay says Kim will be back

The speculations on Kim Clijsters' comeback arise once again. Lindsay Davenport said she's been exchanging e-mails with Kim on constant basis and the Belgian has been seeking some advice on how to travel on the Tour with a child.

"Kim sent me an email with questions about how to travel and live with a child on the WTA circuit, so I think she will play WTA tournaments beside exhibition games in Wimbledon and the United States." - said Davenport.

Kim is due to play a doubles exhibition match with Tim Henman against Andre Agassi & Steffi Graf at Wimbledon in May. She then announced she would play the summer World TeamTennis league in the U.S.

Clijsters’ former coach, Carl Maes said he also believes Kim will start a professional comeback.

“When she stopped [playing] I never said it would be the last time [we would see her on the tour], I think it’s too early to tell but somewhere in the back of her mind, it must be something that she’s considering. If she’s fit and wants to play then I think it’s a possibility. I wouldn’t be completely surprised.”- said Maes.

Clijsters retired with immidiate effect after losing to Julia Vakulenko in Warsaw in 2007. Few months later she got married and gave birth to her first child.
