After practicing for the first time since having hip surgery a year ago, former British number one Laura Robson says she feared she would never “make it back on court”.
26 year old Robson first had hip surgery in June 2018 and then again last December.
The 2008 Wimbledon junior champion has not played since retiring from a match in April 2019.
“I honestly didn’t think I’d make it back on court after the last surgery.” She said.
Robson reached the fourth round at the US Open in 2012, following that up with a run to the same stage at Wimbledon in 2013.
She also won an Olympic silver medal alongside Andy Murray in the London 2012 mixed doubles.
Those performances enabled her to reach a career-high ranking of 27th in the world, but her career has since been plagued by injury.
