Anett Kontaveit on her return from injury: “I know my ranking dropped but I still can beat everybody when I'm playing well. The goal is to be healthy at the moment.”
"Goal is to be healthy": Kontaveit not setting lofty goals in tennis return, hasn't felt her injured back this week
WTAThursday, 13 April 2023 at 07:00
Estonian tennis star Anett Kontaveit had been inactive on the WTA circuit due to a back injury, but remains positive about her ability on the tennis court.
The former World No.2 had been out of action since a round of 16 loss in Abu Dhabi this February, and suffered a significant rankings drop, which has seen her fall to World No.69.
Nonetheless, Kontaveit has not lost confidence, and in a recent interview stated she could still defeat anyone on tour when she's playing well.
"I know my ranking dropped but I still can beat everybody when I'm playing well," said the 27-year old. "Goal is to be healthy at the moment".
Kontaveit made her return to the court this week at the Billie Jean King Cup, where she recorded a 6-1 6-2 win over Isabella Kruger to clinch a win for Estonia against South Africa.
