Until recently, lockdown measures have meant that for tennis players not only can they not play competitively but they cannot practice but for the likes of Elina Svitolina, Elise Mertens and Iga Swiatek this luxury has returned.
TennisUpToDate looks at some of the social media highlights from the past week; in terms of the WTA Tour.
While in the case of Svitolina, the pain was there; all three were glad to be back out on court; after the suspension of the tour has left many out of action for months.
