The unexpected suspension of the tour amid the pandemic might give her a boost to do well as she has got enough time to work on her shortcomings. Also, amalgamating all her experience, fitness, and skills she can do wonders on the circuit.
“(I will) Probably not play as long as I’ve already played. Let’s put it that way. I will not be like 80 on the court unless there’s like a circuit for me. I can play padel or something. Outside of this, I don’t know. We’ll see how I feel. When you’re over it you’re over it.”
