Jennifer Brady Held Back By Another Injury Setback As She Withdraws From Roland Garros
Jennifer Brady has been forced to withdraw from the 2023 Roland Garros due to a new foot injury.
This setback comes just as Brady was expected to make a highly anticipated return to the WTA Tour after nearly two years out of the sport. The American had an exceptional journey to the top of the tennis world and it was marked by her impressive performance in the 2021 Australian Open final against Naomi Osaka.
However, Brady has been sidelined from the sport for a prolonged 21-month period. Her absence has been marked by a series of injuries, which have now culminated in a foot injury that has dashed her hopes of a comeback at this year's Roland Garros.
Earlier this year, the announcement of Brady's planned return at Roland Garros sparked excitement amongst tennis fans, but it won't happen. Utilizing her protected ranking, Brady confirmed her participation in the prestigious Grand Slam event, expressing her readiness for a comeback and stirring anticipation for her performance on the iconic red clay court, but the expectations were soon put to bed by another injury.
Brady's withdrawal from the tournament on Wednesday confirmed by journalist Christopher Clarey, paints a different picture. Having not entered into Wimbledon, it seemed that Brady had hinged her hopes on a return on the clay courts of Roland Garros. Now, it appears that her next potential appearance could be at the US Open, assuming her foot injury is not serious.
This turn of events is a further setback for the former Australian Open finalist, who was on the verge of a comeback after a lengthy hiatus. Now, she will hoping for a swift recovery and a successful return to the sport in the near future.
