Citizen Watches Ambassador Kim Clijsters Misses Wimbledon

Leave a comment

Jun 22 2011 /RTPR/ – Citizen watches ambassador Kim Clijsters has confirmed that she will miss this year’s Wimbledon tournament.

The injury is the second suffered this year by Clijsters, after the first prevented her from playing in this year’s French Open. Clijsters sustained the new injury during her match against Romina Oprandi at the UNICEF Open in the Netherlands.

During the match, she skidded on the grass court and fell, twisting her right ankle which resulted in severe bruising and a tendon injury. The new injury is unrelated to her previous ankle problem and it is thought it could not have been prevented by the application of ankle tape.

The Citizen watches ambassador has been ordered to rest and will resume training in a month’s time to enable her to take part in this summer’s major US events such as the US Open, which takes place in late August. The event features Clijsters’ major sponsor Citizen watches as the official timekeeper.

Earlier this season, the player had to take time off to recover from shoulder and wrist injuries sustained as a result of the WTA tournament in Miami at the end of March. In early April, she injured her ankle whilst attending the wedding party of a cousin. She returned to the courts at the French Open but her lack of competitive play and training activity showed and she was ousted in the second round by the Dutch player Arantxa Rux, currently ranked 114th in the professional standings, 112 places below Clijsters.

Clijster has so far reached four Grand Slam finals and has won 34 singles titles in her career. She has also won 9 doubles titles with her partner, Japanese player Ai Sugiyama. She retired from the sport in 2007, playing her last tournament in Warsaw. Kim returned to the game in March 2009 initially aiming to participate in exhibition tournaments but returned to competitive tennis in August 2009. A few weeks later she returned to the US Open, the tournament she won in 2005.

Official Wimbledon Hospitality 2011 on Sale Now At Sportsworld

Leave a comment

Now in our 19th year of official appointment to provide Wimbledon Hospitality at The Championships, Sportsworld looks forward to 2011 after a fantastic Wimbledon 2010 with the ‘sold out’ signs going up long before the first ball was hit.

We are now on open sale for 2011 with a range of VIP Wimbledon hospitality packages in our exclusive Fairway Village facility. Prices start from £395pp + VAT and include official Wimbledon tickets on Centre or No.1 Court and all day hospitality.

2011 is already looking like another popular year, with many guests vowing to return and others who missed out in 2010 already champing at the bit to secure their places before it’s too late. Guests are also conscious of beating the VAT increase due in January 2011.

“Our revenue was 15% higher in 2010 than it was the year before, and we were completely sold out on every day, with some days selling out months before the event started,” said Sportsworld Wimbledon account manager Steve Callaghan.

We expect our No.1 Court packages to be as popular as ever in 2011 following the debut of a number of top seeds, including that of both Federer and Nadal, who were playing on the ‘hidden gem’ of Wimbledon in 2010’s Championship.

Sportsworld looked after around 3,000 guests over the 2010 Wimbledon fortnight. Clients arrived at The Fairway Village eagerly anticipating an exciting day’s tennis and superb hospitality and none were disappointed. “The average table size was six, but we can provide private tables for any number between two and 14 in our Village Suite, and the largest group we catered for this year was 140 in our private chalet,” said Callaghan.

Let Sportsworld help you and your guests experience the best Wimbledon Hospitality 2011 that the UK has to offer!
