Former doubles No. 1 Storm Hunter is set to return to competition at the ATX Open in Austin, Texas later this month. Hunter, 30, was sidelined for 10 months after rupturing her Achilles tendon during practice at the Billie Jean King Cup last April.
Hunter announced her return on the Australian Open’s podcast, “The Tennis.”
“I’m very excited to announce that I’m back,” Hunter said. “I’m ready to compete. We’re leaving next week to head to Austin, Texas for a WTA 250 and then Indian Wells and Miami. So I’m going to be playing doubles at those three events.”
