"When I underwent the surgery barely three months ago, I'd never imagined that I would be back competing at the highest level so soon and I'm happy with my comeback although I'm still finding my way around."

She attributes her best doubles result at a Grand Slam to difference in intensity at doubles competition.
"Doubles is comparatively easier as the physical effort required to compete is not as demanding as in singles, in which even a minor injury can be ruthlessly exposed," she said.
