Australian tennis star
Ajla Tomljanovic is set to return to
professional tennis after a lengthy injury concern.
The 30-year-old has struggled with a knee injury in the recent
past and it is because of this reason she has not played any match since
November last year.
However, Tomljanovic’s fans can now finally get excited to
hear the news that their favourite player is set to return to action at the US
Open.
The Zagreb-born has recently completed a practice session ahead
of the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year which is set to begin in less
than seven days’ time.
Tomljanovic will be hoping to improve her performance after
such a lengthy injury layoff. Despite turning pro in 2009, she has not won any senior
WTA title in her career.
Even in the Grand Slams, Tomljanovic has never played beyond
the quarterfinal stage. She played in the last-eight of Wimbledon twice — in 2021
and 2022 and on both occasions, she ended up as the second-best after losing to
fellow Australian Ashleigh Barty and Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan.
She also played in the quarterfinal of the
US Open last
year where she lost to Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur with a score of 6-4, 7-6.
