Kim Clijsters will return to action here at the French Open with a first round clash against Anastasiya YakimovaYou can watch and bet on live streaming tennis at bet365Kim Clijsters made an astounding start to 2011, reaching the final in Sydney and winning the Australian Open. In the following weeks she managed to reclaim the No. 1 ranking spot, though she’s had injury problems in recent months and is now the world No. 2. She enters this competition having recently sustained an ankle injury. Regardless of this injury, some pundits are touting Clijsters as the favourite to win this year’s French Open.
Tuesday’s first round match for Clijsters, where she will face Anastasiya Yakimova, should provide a good opportunity to assess the Belgian’s chances. Yakimova is currently the world No. 100, and has been playing well in Challenger events. It’s likely that she’ll come unstuck at this level though, and Clijsters should be feeling confident of success.
Clijsters currently has a 1-0 head to head record against Yakimova, following a sole meeting between the pairing earlier in the season in Miami. Clijsters won this match 6-1, 6-1, and she should be able to secure another comfortable win if injuries don’t prove to be an issue.
