Kim Clijster and Justine Henin will be playing for the first time since Wimbledon this year when they go against each other in less than two hours at the Antwerp Diamond Game exhibition. During a press conference earlier for the event, both talked about a possibility of playing together as a team for the 2012 Olympics in London.
They teamed up once before but lost to Russia at the 2006 Fed Cup quarterfinals. Both are using this exhibition as a warm-up for the Australian Open in a couple of weeks.
Henin won the Olympics in Athens in 2004 while Clijsters has never competed in the games. The three-time US Open champ skipped the event in 2004 due to a conflict with sponsor Fila and Adidas.
