Kim Clijsters has backed fellow Belgian Justine Henin-Hardenne to claim gold at next summer's Olympics after revealing on Monday she would not be
competing in Athens herself.
Clijsters, the world number two, has decided against playing because of a conflict of interests regarding her sponsors.
Clijsters' has a different clothing sponsor to that of the official Belgian uniform and she is unwilling to compromise the relationship she has with
her backers.
