BRISBANE fell in love with Kim Clijsters in 2010.
This year, the Belgian who has long been dubbed "Aussie Kim" lived up to that name when she won the Australian Open.
Yesterday, she became the latest in a string of big-name signings for the Brisbane International, where she will start preparing the defence of her Australian Open crown from January 1-8.
"I am looking forward to getting back on the court in Australia," Clijsters said.
"Australia has always been a home away from home for me and I am very comfortable there."
After she won a punishing 2010 Brisbane International final against countrywoman Justine Henin, Clijsters donated her champion's cheque to the Royal Children's Hospital, winning hearts all over the state.
"The final against Justine was a big match," Clijsters said.
