(VIDEO) Karolina Muchova back on a tennis court for a clinic...albeit with a wrist brace after Australian Open withdrawal

Despite being sidelined by a wrist injury, tennis star Karolina Muchova was seen participating in a tennis clinic as she recovers from the nagging ailment.

The World No.8 was forced to pull out of the 2024 Australian Open due to the right wrist injury, which happened at last year's US Open. The Czech star had hoped to return in time for the first Grand Slam of the season, but eventually withdrew from Melbourne citing a wrist flare-up.
