Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin will play for Belgium against the United States in the Fed Cup next month.

The two former top-ranked players led Belgium to the title in 2001 but have rarely played together since. They'll be joined by 23rd-ranked Yanina Wickmayer and No. 78 Kirsten Flipkens.

The best-of-five series on Feb. 5-6 will be played at 14,000-seat Antwerp Sports Palace.

Clijsters, who won the last two U.S. Opens, and Henin are both favored to go far in the Australian Open, which starts Jan. 17.
