Kim Clijsters, making her comeback on Monday after a two-year absence, has the same dream as when she was world number one – to win Wimbledon. The 26-year-old Belgian quit the sport in May 2007, worn down by a series of injuries and many years of traveling the world and competing at the top. In her time away from the tour, she got married and had a daughter, Jada, in Feb. 2008. After deciding to return seven months ago, she has been working furiously to get herself into the best possible shape. Her immediate aim is to assess where she is with her game and thanks to wildcards will play at the Cincinnati Open before heading to Toronto and then New York for the US Open at the end of August. Her longer-term aim is altogether more ambitious. “It's always been Wimbledon,” Clijsters told Reuters in an interview in Cincinnati. “I've always had that feeling when I got there, like ‘Oh my God, wow'. As a young girl when I played juniors there, that was one of my biggest dreams, and one that I was living, Wimbledon. “I am very happy that I won the US Open (in 2005) because I think my personality is something that suits the US Open – I love the interaction with the crowd and the noise and the music.
