Kim Clijsters tells the Courier-Mail that she is not looking ahead to the 2012 Olympics, which could be her last event as a professional. "I'm defending my [Australian Open] title in a couple of weeks and so that's a big deal for me as well. My next focus is Brisbane and that's what I'm training for. That's why I came here (before Christmas) to be ready to try and be the best Kim I can when I play my first match here," she said.
Clijsters, who suffered a series of injuries in 2011, says that she changed her training routine. "Because of those injuries I've been able to change up the way that I work with my trainer, with my coach," said the Belgian, who will open her season next week in Brisbane. "With my trainer I've been working a bit more towards the prevention of it all. Physically I feel really good and it's a matter of keeping that level."
