 KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) - Playing for the first time in more than a month, Kim Clijsters said she felt rusty, and it showed. The defending champion at the Nasdaq-100 Open squandered leads in the first and final sets and lost Saturday to Jill Craybas, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5.
Clijsters became the first woman in the tournament's 22-year history to lose her opening match the year after winning the title. She double-faulted 11 times and committed 78 unforced errors.
"It was sort of in my hands," said Clijsters, who was seeded second. "I was the one making the mistakes. I was just trying to do a little too much."
