“I’m going to Portugal at the end of the week. I hope nothing happens to me by then. I’m a little paranoid, but perhaps not. I was supposed to play this week, but I have a little back with my back,” Pliskova said.
“Although there are still there (problems with my back), but I have already got used to them. So I will go a bit to know where I am. We will see how it can,” she added.
A thirty -three -year -old native of Louny would like to return to the Asian line at the elite circuit. “If I survive next week and mentally and physically my first match, then we are going to Asia, where I would like to play something,” Pliskova said.
The winner of 17 WTA tournaments and a double Grand Slam finalist have not played since the end of last August, when she injured her left ankle at the beginning of the second round of the US Open against Italian Jasmine Paolini.
After an unsuccessful convalescence, she underwent surgery in May.
