Overview
- Tournament organisers confirmed the wildcard Wednesday for the WTA 500 in Strasbourg, which runs May 17–23 a week before Roland Garros.
- The 23-year-old has not played since a March 8 loss at Indian Wells and withdrew from Miami, Linz, Madrid and, minutes after media duties, the Italian Open because of lingering post-viral symptoms.
- She said she is not yet 100 percent but feels she has turned a corner and now feels much better on court.
- Her ranking was No. 30 on the May 4 WTA list, but lost points have pushed her into the mid-to-high 30s, making a seeded spot in Paris unlikely.
- Strasbourg also served as her tune-up last year, when she beat Daria Kasatkina before losing to Danielle Collins, and reports indicate recent practice time with former coach Andrew Richardson.
