After that, many injuries and other events took a toll on her career. Last year in June she suffered a horrific shoulder injury and had to go through the surgery. After recovering well from that surgery, she returned to the tennis court last December. Since then, she has played many exhibitions matches before getting ready for her long-awaited comeback on the tour.

Earlier, the 28-year-old Canadian tennis player received a wild card in the Palm Harbour tennis tournament. Since receiving the entry, she has been practicing hard for her return match. Also, she posted a few pictures of her practice sessions on her social media. Meanwhile, the tournament will start on the 11th of April and it will be a clay-court tournament. If she performs well, she could potentially grab a ticket to Paris to play in the French Open.
