I think it is unlikely - she's not ready yet to play competitively. If you read her blog she's working slowly to build up from her latest injury.

She must be feeling positive that she is getting close to being fit enough to play. Either way it's nice to see her on entry lists again.

Well I was wrong - she's going to have a go. Still 5th on the alt list, but confident of getting in.

Six months on and Katy is playing (fairly) regularly, but the draws haven't been kind and ranking points have been hard to come by.
BUT
Today she came through the Wimbledon wildcard playoffs for the third year running.

Katy has announced her retirement

Which, given her comments two days ago, is no surprise

In the uk for summer and then off to Australia for 3 months, apparently

All the best to her

Not surprised but still a shame. Could have easily been top 100 without the many injuries

I'm not sure Katy was ever quite top 100 potential, but a very quality player who was so very unfortunate with her many injuries. Congratulations to her on all she achieved and wish her all the best for the future

Best wishes to Katy on her future life away from playing tennis.

Imagine a lot of these players will need to re-train if they are looking outside tennis for their next step.
