Excellent series

5 mins coverage - mainly to do with how her right forearm has adapted to tennis and come physically larger than her left arm. Short clip of her losing to Petkovic at Ilkley.

Freya on Twitter, a few minutes ago

"Didn't think I'd ever say this but I'm ecstatic to be packing to go to a tournament! #Imback #injuryfree"

Yes good luck to her, the last 12 months has been a bit of a wash out she was doing so well in the run up to Wimbledon 2016, it would be great to see her stay healthy and get back to that the of form

That match in Wimbledon qualifying over three tough sets seemed to knock the stuffing out of Freya I always thought she would make top 200 or higher glad she is back.

 It would mean she is remarkably mentally fragile if that really were the case. For her sake, I hope that match has nothing to do with her last 12 months of form. Because it would also mean she didn't/doesn't have people around her that can help her recover from feelings of disappointment after losses. Not family nor coaches nor friends were able to do it. Early on in the pro tour, it's new experience after new experience in both wins and losses.

20 aces this week - not a bad return from injury! Hopefully she'll play in Sunderland next week and keep up her return!

I just wrote this about her - we should celebrate her QF appearance - let's hope she climbs those rankings again :)

Would love your thoughts!

Did she have surgery on her wrist?

According to wiki, she hasn't even won a Future in singles. Compared with 6 titles in doubles spanning 15k and 25k level.

And according to her Twitter today, some people that backed her to beat Eden Silva in singles are now regretting it.

Well she and all the other tennis players that now receive this nasty abuse can thank the ITF for their famous data link up agreement. Whenever I've heard any of the players commenting on social media about abuse, I've never heard one of them mention the ITF and their obvious role in it.

My gawd, returning from long term out Freya loses a tennis match to a decent player and gets abuse from some betting folk. I guess I'm not really that surprised, which in itself is very sad. I guess some numpies wondered how they got clearly to them decent looking odds. Must be the player's fault.

Not of course a player losing a tennis match and/or possible ignorance regarding some of the background is any excuse regarding such dregs' err communications.

These days, a young tennis player complaining like that has merely become part of their rite of passage.

Sadly that abuse is very common these days, and quite a few young pros have posted examples on twitter.

 And the ITF continues to sit on its hands.

What expectations do people have for her career?

She is presently ranked around 500 in the world, returning from a wrist injury.
