World No. 2 Kim Clijsters explains what happened at her cousin’s wedding in April when she tore ligaments in her ankle while dancing. Roland Garros will be the Belgian’s first tournament since Miami and she will be playing with heavy tape through Wimbledon. "I was dancing on my bare feet," she told reporters. "A lot of people thought I was in high heels, but I wasn't in high heels. I was in bare feet, because I was wearing high heels and I couldn't dance in my high heels. So then I landed on another girl's foot and I twisted my ankle. Then while I'm walking off, limping, somebody stepped on the outside of my small toe, as well, and I still have a problem there. But I'm here. I was having a really good time until then."
