Brady, who reached her first Grand Slam singles final at the Australian Open in 2021, had announced in January that she would be out of action for an extended period for surgery in her right knee. The 28-year-old returned to the tour last August after two years away, having suffered a knee injury in Cincinnati in 2021, seven months after she made the final in Melbourne.

Have an interesting take?

During her second-round match against Jelena Ostapenko at the 2021 Cincinnati Open, Brady felt a pop in her left heel, causing searing pain. That was later revealed to be a torn plantar fascia, combined with a stress fracture in her right knee. Once ranked as high as No. 13 in the world, Brady made her long-awaited return to competition at an ITF W100 event in Granby, Canada in July last year after 698 days.
