LUXEMBOURG
Tennis Results, AP - 1 month ago


Kim Clijsters won her first match since capturing the U.S. Open title, defeating Meghann Shaughnessy 6-2, 6-2 Tuesday to reach the second round of the Luxembourg Open.


Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark, who lost to Clijsters in the final in New York last month, retired when leading Anne Kremer of Luxembourg 7-5, 5-0. Her injury wasn't immediately clear.


Kremer was a late replacement for American teenager Melanie Oudin, who withdrew hours before her first match because of illness.


Clijsters is a five-time champion of the tournament.
