Along with her was her doctor, Brian Cole. Brady has suffered a long bout with injury, which began in 2021. The seriousness of the issue even made her believe she might have to retire.

Brady began experiencing left foot stiffness months after her debut Grand Slam final in Melbourne in 2021, which worsened over time. She skipped the grass court season to compete in the Olympics in Tokyo, where she lost in the first round. Brady then competed in the Cincinnati Open, where she tore her left plantar fascia during her second-round match.

While the depth of her injury was unknown at the time, Brady was forced to withdraw from the US Open, and an MRI revealed the severity of the situation later. She had planned to return in 2022, but further complications arose and caused her to withdraw from the tournament. A return in 2023 showed her tennis skills, but she was forced to sit out again. When will she be able to return now?
