Considering the gravity of the situation, Bouchard hasn’t held a tennis racquet for around five months. But now, after rigorous rehabilitation and recovery, the 27-year-old Canadian has left the bad days behind her.

“I saw the doctor last week, and he says everything’s on track and going well, but he wants to strengthen my shoulder a little bit more before I get back on the court,” Bouchard said on her Instagram story.

“Everything’s still on time,” Bouchard continued. “So I just need a few more weeks of intense PT and strengthening, and then I can finally, five months later, get on the court.”

Unquestionably, it has been a long recovery road for the Candian professional. But soon, Bouchard could start working on the WTA return. And that is great.

But considering her talent, Bouchard has the game to turn her career around in a single season. The only question is: Would she put her heart and mind into getting back on the top? Only time will tell.
