Kim Clijsters Takes 2

Two months of recovery time is what Kim Clijsters expects to need to recover from the ankle injury that caused her to retire during the AO semifinal match v. Mauresmo, as reported by the BBC.

"The scan showed a torn anterior ligament which means I'll be absent for at least eight weeks," she said.

"Normally it should take eight weeks for the tissue to heal before I can hope to return fully. It will be once again a complex recovery," she added.

"I can already rule out tournaments in the coming weeks."

Almost makes me feel bad for what I previously wrote...hmm...no, no, it doesn't.
