November 11, 2010: "We kind of grew up together. I've been playing with her since the juniors. It's nice to see her look forward to something new in her life. She's been one of the most professional, nicest girls on tour. It will be rare to see another player like her."
— Kim Clijsters, paying tribute to Elena Dementieva, the longtime top 10 player and 2008 Olympic gold medalist who announced her retirement, while also speaking of the special rapport she had with Dementieva.
May 13, 2007: "It has been more than fun, but the rackets are being hung up. To retire before the age of 24, it is very young - but it was so beautiful. I would have been able to continue for a few months and to take part in the four most lucrative tournaments [three Grand Slams and the Masters]. Money is important, but not the most important thing in my life. Health and private happiness are so much more important."

- Kim Clijsters, Belgium's injury-plagued tennis star, announcing her retirement.
