Kim Clijsters is ready to make a comeback to the tennis court. The 25 year old Belgian star, who held the number one ranking, gave up the game to have a baby but is now ready to rejoin the tour. Clijsters, who was one of the most loved players by fans and players on the WTA Tour, will announce her full plans in a news conference on Thursday.

The Associated Press is reporting that Clijsters has already asked the USTA for a wild card in the US Open which is set for August. The star is also set to play in an exhibition match with Steffi Graf in the coming months at the hallowed grounds of Wimbledon.
