Kim Clijsters has pleaded to be left alone after announcing she was breaking up with her Australian boyfriend Lleyton Hewitt four months from their
marriage.
"I hope everyone will now show me and my family and friends a little respect and comprehension by keeping their opinions to themselves," the former
world No 1 said on her website.
She dismissed reports the two prospective mothers-in-law had fallen out.
"Complete lies," she said.
And added: "Where have we got to that journalists are camped outside my home and follow me."
Hewitt, due to play in the Paris Masters tournament next Monday, is reported to be devastated by the public split.
