Kim Clijsters faces a difficult opening match against Dinara Safina on Tuesday in the first round of the Australian Open

Kim Clijsters, the current World No. 3, will meet Dinara Safina in the first round of the Australian Open on Tuesday. Clijsters enters this tournament as one of the top seeds, though this hasn’t spared her from receiving a challenging tie on day two. Safina was the World No. 1 back in 2009, and has the ability to challenge anyone on the tour if she can find form.

Safina has won two of her last three encounters with Clijsters, though recent form indicates that this might not count for anything here. Overall, Clijsters leads her head to head with Safina 7-2, and she enters this match as the clear favourite. Clijsters finished as the runner-up in Sydney last week, and she steps into this tournament in good form. Safina, on the other hand, hasn’t won a match since September 2010.

It’s been a while since Safina managed to make a decent run in a competition, though it should perhaps be noted that she was a runner-up here in Melbourne in 2009. This could be a very intriguing matchup, though the widespread opinion is that Clijsters can win this one comfortably.
