Tennis: Emma Raducanu has progressed to the quarter finals at Eastbourne, defeating Jess Pegula in three sets.
Raducanu battles back to down Pegula | 00:55When Daria Saville returned to grand slam tennis at Wimbledon last year after her second knee reconstruction , the Australia n was hoping for a change in fortune but instead found herself in the midst of a puzzle, watched by a princess and driven nuts by fans farting .
Saville, who helped the ground staff clean the court by getting down on to her knees in order to pick the finer pieces of the puzzle from the court, later lamented the incident “really rattled me”. For Saville, who won a WTA Tour title in Connecticut in 2017 and peaked at a ranking of 20 that year, dealing with ADHD while managing a career travelling the globe is an additional challenge, as she told foxsports.com.au in an extended interview late last year.
“But it has probably affected my life more, just forgetting everything. Before my first round match , I literally left my tennis bag in the hotel. “It is about them reminding me of things or trying to make my life stress free. It can be booking courts, they’ll do that, or putting racquets in to be be restrung, they’re going to do that,” she said.
She is yet to win a grand slam match since resuming from her latest setback just over 12 months ago but has done well to get her ranking, which is currently 80, back inside the top 100 once again, with runs to the semi-finals in Hobart and last eight in San Diego this year. “This is almost my fourth comeback. two knees and an Achilles, along with plantar fasciitis. We tried to overcome that problem through rehab, but that did not really work out, so then I had surgery.
A major goal when returning to the tour last year was to qualify for the Australian Olympic Team, with Saville’s spot confirmed this week.
