Injury is an issue that plagues the lives of athletes. However, they are mostly able to recover and return to their usual schedule. Jennifer Brady is, unfortunately, not such a star. The American Tennis player returned to tennis in 2023 after a two-year absence and then announced another hiatus at the beginning of 2024. While Brady is looking to recuperate from another injury that sidelined her, she has the best support group with her. 

Jennifer Brady is looking to come back in the 2024 season, but a return date cannot be announced yet. The 28-year-old has not been on the tennis court for a while but decided to visit her compatriots as they are ready to move on from the Miami Open to the Charleston Open. Brady met with Madison Keys, Jessica Pegula, and Desirae Krawczyk and uploaded a picture of the three of them to her Instagram page.

She had the utmost confidence in her squad as she accompanied the post with the caption, “I can’t really see another squad tryna cross us.” The three players were in their tennis outfits, but Brady was wearing casual clothes and had crutches by her side, giving a deeper look into her current grim reality. On 17th January, Brady shared the announcement that she would not be able to participate in professional tennis due to knee surgery.
