Former world number one Kim Clijsters also loses her second game after her comeback. Against the British Johanna Konta she clearly loses in two sets.

Former world number one Kim Clijsters (Belgium) will have to wait for her second comeback for her first success.

In the second match after her return to the WTA Tour, the 36-year-old had to concede defeat to the number two seeded British player Johanna Konta in her first round match at the tournament in Monterrey, Mexico, despite a good performance 3-6, 7-5.

In mid-February, the winner of four Grand Slam tournaments in Dubai had already lost her first match after a break of almost eight years.
