PARIS (AP) Just a few months after thinking she might never play tennis again, Petra Martic is through to the fourth round of the French Open.
Martic was sidelined for 10 months with a back injury shortly after she lost at Wimbledon qualifying last year. It was initially thought she would return to the court much sooner.
”When I got injured I thought it would take maybe two, three months the most,” Martic said. ”And whenever I got to that point, it was like, okay, one more month. Okay. One more, one more. And then, in the end, it was a full year.
