Belgium's Kim Clijsters training to get back into top-level tennis is already well underway, with an Instagram video giving a look into her routine.

A video - posted on the Instagram page of the Kim Clijsters Acadamy - shows Clijsters playing tennis alongside the caption "look who's back."

Clijsters, 36, had announced that she will return to the Women's Tennis Association tour in 2020.

"It will be my marathon," said Clijsters. "I do not feel like I want to prove anything, but for me, it's the challenge," Clijsters added.
