Shoulder Pain for Tennis No. 2
INDIAN WELLS, California, March 13 (Reuters) - A lingering shoulder problem has given world number two Kim Clijsters increased cause for concern with the WTA Tour's claycourt season fast approaching.
The Belgian has been taking pain killers to cope with a pinched shoulder since before she won her fourth grand slam title at the Australian Open in January.
After losing to Czech Petra Kvitova in last month's Paris Open final, Clijsters had hoped to regain full fitness while taking a break of almost four weeks from competition.
"I had treatment on it while I was off, and it felt fine," the 27-year-old told reporters after beating Italy's Sara Errani 6-3 2-6 6-4 in the third round of the Indian Wells WTA tournament on Sunday.
"When I'm not training it feels fine but as I got into hitting a little bit more again, it slowly just flared up a little bit." Read more.
