From Yahoo!:
Kim Clijsters: My calendar is set and I’m going to finish the whole season, whether it’s playing at the US Open or if I make it back to the top 10 or top 8 and being a part of the championships, we’ll see where it ends. I’m going to play it by ear and then I’ll see how I feel and how I’m doing and how my body feels. For now, everything is set for the Olympics and then we’ll see afterwards.
