Is Amanda Anisimova a doubt for Rome return? Still in Greece amid injury rehab

Amanda Anisimova is set to play in Rome it seems over the next week but whether or not she does is another matter after she decided to take time out to train in Greece and complete her injury rehab.
Anisimova decided not to play Madrid this past week, this was despite the fact that she was in the city for the Laureus Sports Awards. But she promptly pulled out of the tournament.
"Training and rehabbing has been going well. incredible week @tatoiclub one of the nicest clubs I’ve ever been to, thank you for having me, I will be coming back," she wrote on Instagram.
But through Instagram stories it was duly noted that she was still there in Greece and wasn't yet in Rome where she would due to be playing mid week. So either it will be a rapid dash to Rome or she will be withdrawing in the coming days.
Top names return
Most of the top names who have been missing from action will be involved in Rome with Karolina Muchova for instance who withdrew after reaching the Stuttgart final, Emma Raducanu will also play for the first time in many months ironically after she last lost to Anisimova in Indian Wells.
She was seen practicing with Eva Lys in Rome but ironically Anisimova isn't yet back. The American cited a wrist injury as the reason why she wasn't playing Madrid.
But she has struggled with injury since earlier in the clay court season as far back as Charleston. “Lately I’ve been using a hyperbaric chamber because it’s supposed to speed up the healing process. That’s been the only thing I’ve been able to do because I’m told to rest," she told Elite Daily.
"I like to cool down straightaway. In the gym, I use a bike, do some stretching and breathing. Then I’ll always go in the ice bath to prevent any soreness. Most of the time it’s really hot, so that’s also a good way to cool down. Afterward I shower, eat, and do some treatment with my physical therapist. We always have to train or either play a match again the next day, so it’s quite back-to-back," the former world No. 3 explained.

- WTF is this here for????
- Doubt she recalls which 'man' she acquired those underwear from... but the label probably has "ATP" on it.
- I've lately been thinking everyone is pointing to the wrong location for "illness" and constant "injury". Perhaps some 'couch time' is in order at this point?
- She has long outlived this shitshow she started. So, according to this lucky winner, ALL THE WORLD's CITIZENS should shun one another while forced to live under threatening, insane Leaders and Regimes? A sad individual who thinks she's changing the World with her ridiculous shunning of Russian opponents. Must be a hard life worrying about Ukraine from her balcony overlooking Monte Carlo? WTA needs to take a REAL stand here. Otherwise ban flags and handshakes by Russia, China, Israel, Iran, USA..... (Get the picture??)
- They still with that crap??? These Ukrainians need to just stop. Your Russian opponents have nothing to do with the war against your country. They didn't start it and by you not shaking their hands certainly won't end it. All this bitterness and unforgiveness will not augur well for these silly women.
- Tennis knows it has a huge problem with Hi-Tech line calls on clay. They've admitted so behind closed doors. However they do nothing except make a rule that no one can argue a call; no matter the proof. Perhaps the new WTA CEO will take a stand??
- "Accused" ?? They've been doing this regularly at tourneys... and yelling over the opponent standing right in front of them. Last season as well, when at one point Coco asked them to stop.
- Courier is an idiot. It's a virus which has been medically confirmed early last week.
- When is this Williams shitshow going to be stopped??? STEALING WILDCARDS from young, promising talents is disgusting, I don't care how big an Ego someone has. Dignity & Integrity are obviously out the window. Williams Family needs the spotlight so bad -- install a little theater at home, with professioal studio lighting, an applause track, and enjoy your needy selves.
- Sad? I'm laughing at what a loser you are.
