I'm still thinking she'll really return in february, but in this case, I'm hoping to be wrong..

Before the AO, she must play in another place. Maybe that tournament in China, is still in her plans..

 

[Phenomareva]

Slowly, but surely, more good news keeps coming in :bounce:. Still won't hang out the flag until she actually is on court.

 

[Ollie.]

Go Vera! :hearts:

 

[MalJackson]

is it 100% confirmed she plays australian open?

is it 100% confirmed she plays australian open?

This is the official entry list, and she hasn't pulled out. Plus she's been seriously training. Follow her Twitter.

She will be playing, unless her doctors advise not to. She will have a final go or no go from them this month, not sure exactly when. Somehow I feel she still has to announce that. Last year she pulled out of Aussie summer 21st of December, so like said before, I will cheer once she actually is on court.

Yes, the draw is terrible, but on the other hand, I don't care. The fact that Vera is back is beyond who she plays. It is even a good test I think where she is against a top player and how her rehab the past few months has paid off. I want her, but don't expect her to win. The way back will be long and though, so why not start against Li anyway

 

[Sean.]

So unfair. :tears:

I'm hoping she at least gets a couple of doubles matches. Anyone know how good a doubles player Olga is?

Her Doubles Rank is 60 (not bad), at least better than their Opponents !

Jesus.. Was afraid of something like that.. :tears:

Hope she can play more in Doubles and gain something.. More than anything, hope she can play painless.. Everything else, comes with time..

Well that's really disappointing that Vera has to play Li in her first match back. Hopefully she does well and can play pain free though. I guess it could be difficult at this point for her to get some matches under her belt without running into top players early on in tournaments, but it'll be what it'll be. At any rate, i most certainly wish Vera the best in her comeback!! :yeah:
