"Whoever is writing my show can you stop making my character to have surgery every season?" - Daria Saville pokes fun at self during rehab from injury

Australian tennis player Daria Saville is recovering from an ACL injury in her left knee which she got while playing against Naomi Osaka in the first round of the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo last month.

Nevertheless, she was in good spirits on social media when she joked about what kind of character she would want to be if anyone was writing her character for a TV show. She urged potential writers not to let her character have surgery every season because of her injury setbacks.

"Whoever is writing my show can you stop making my character having to have surgery every season because of an injury? unless there is a show finale twist and my character wins a grand slam, I think we are about to lose ratings cause it's a tennis show, not a rehab show," wrote Saville.

The 28-year old had been experiencing a comeback of sorts prior to her latest injury, reaching the quarterfinals at the Miami Open and the semifinals in Washington this summer.
