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.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
