Kim Clijsters is more interested in trying to win major titles than returning to the No. 1 ranking for the first time in five years, despite being only two matches away from overtaking Caroline Wozniacki at the top.
Clijsters, who won the Australian Open for her fourth Grand Slam victory, only needs to reach the semifinals of the Open Gaz de France this week. She plays Kristina Barrois of Germany in the second round Wednesday.
"When you're this close to making it, it would be a nice accomplishment if I could do it," the 27-year-old Clijsters said Tuesday. "I'm not going to be disappointed if I don't make it. I would like to focus on a few more goals throughout this season, which are a couple of the bigger tournaments."
Even if she is successful, Clijsters said the first time she became No. 1, in August 2003 at 20, would always mean more to her. The Belgian held the top spot again in 2003, and was last No. 1 in January 2006.
