Meanwhile, with her current WTA ranking (120), it will be tough for her to get a direct entry into tournaments and Grand Slam events. She needs to rely on wild cards to get an entry. However, according to recent reports, we could see her play at Roland Garros with a protected ranking, due to her injury. 

The young Canadian is all set to make a return on clay in Stuttgart after accepting a wild card. The main draw of the Stuttgart Open gets underway on April 18.
