We caught up with former world No.4 and Grand Slam champion Sam Stosur during a training stint in Melbourne as she battles to be ready for the US Open.
Melbourne VIC, Australia, 3 August 2017 | Matt Trollope
Sam Stosur has not played competitively since an injury-affected fourth-round loss at the French Open.
Stosur, who fell in three sets to eventual champion Jelena Ostapenko, was forced to skip the entire grasscourt season as she battled a stress fracture in her playing hand.
After seven weeks off, she resumed hitting – only to find it too painful. After more time off, she’s begun hitting – lightly – during a training stint in Melbourne this week.
