KIM Clijsters' injury scare has been diagnosed as a thigh muscle spasm which
should not jeopardise her Australian Open defence, yet concerns remain about
the physical toll of unforgiving hardcourts as several title contenders
battle injuries in the first week of the year.
Clijsters, 28, retired at 7-6 (7-4), 1-3 in her Brisbane International
semi-final against Daniela Hantuchova after feeling a gradual tightening in
her left hip, determined not to risk serious damage with the Melbourne Park
grand slam starting on Monday week.
She had an ice bath and sought immediate treatment, while declaring she had
''a good feeling'' about this setback, in comparison with the more serious
abdominal injury she sustained in Toronto in August.
The Belgian's coach, Carl Maes, confirmed yesterday that the MRI scan had
proved negative. ''Kim will be resting for a few days and get intensive
treatment,'' he said, indicating that another check-up is scheduled for
Wednesday, but that the four-time major winner's farewell Australian Open
appearance ''should not be in danger at the moment''.
Clijsters had earlier indicated that, test results permitting, ''it should
take a little under a week to get completely healed and so that's what I am
obviously hoping for, aiming for''. She conceded that while there were
advantages and disadvantages with every surface - lower-back issues on grass,
for example - the sport in general had become far more physically demanding.
''I can obviously only speak for myself but the tennis that I play is
physically so demanding on the body and then combine that on a hard court …
it's more demanding on the joints especially.''
