Clijsters come through first test

Kim Clijsters declared herself a work in progress after coming through her first match at the French Open in five years in reasonably comfortable fashion against Anastasiya Yakimova today.

The Belgian, a 6-2 6-3 winner on Court Suzanne Lenglen, is bidding for her third grand slam title in a row after victories in New York and Melbourne but her build-up to the tournament has been less than ideal.
