Serena Williams and Clijsters could stage a rematch of their U.S. Open semifinal, which ended with Williams' tirade at a line judge that earned her a record $82,500 fine.
The March 1 event will feature one-set semifinals then a three-set final, all with no ad scoring. Serena Williams beat her sister in last year's final.
Serena Williams won the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year. Kuznetsova won the French and Clijsters won at Flushing Meadows in her third tournament after a 2 1/2-year retirement.
The event offers $1.2 million in prize money.
