Clijsters to make her return at Eastbourne

EASTBOURNE, England (AP)—Kim Clijsters will make her return to the WTA Tour on Monday at Eastbourne after an absence of nearly two months.

Clijsters, who injured her left foot while competing in the Fed Cup against Estonia, plays Yanina Wickmayer in an all-Belgian first round match at the Aegon International.

In opening day’s play Sunday, fifth-seeded Guillermo Garcia-Lopez defeated Marc Gicquel 6-4, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3) at the Wimbeldon grass-court warmup. Alexandr Dolgopolov stopped Jamie Baker 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, and Illya Marchenko beat Andreas Seppi 6-4, 6-4.

Defending champion Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark is seeded No. 1 in a field that features six of the top 10 women. Two Spaniards top the seeds at the ATP event—Nicolas Almagro is No. 1 ahead of Queen’s Club semifinalist Feliciano Lopez.
