Pictures on Insta -looks like she is in a villa with a pool with her lovely Labrador, in south of France?

It looked like she was training well on the behind-the-scenes YouTube series 1 at Roehampton so hopefully she isnt far away.

She's watching Ben playing for Toulon (well, he's on the bench). But yes, I've seen clips of her training.

Im sure it wont be hard for Jodie to find a nice tennis court for a hit in the French Riviera.

Jodie is out for the whole grass season. From her Instagram:-

"As much as I'm trying to be positive about my situation, I'm absolutely gutted to be sitting on the side lines for the grass court season this year.
Near full rupture of my ATFL ankle ligament and torn retinaculum will keep me out for a while, no surgery required but I do need to take time to let it heal which will involve missing all grass tournaments and Wimbledon.
It truely kills me not to compete but my body just won't allow it right now. I'm going to use this time to rehab my wrist and ankle properly, and to get in the best shape I can before I return.

Thank you for all the kind messages over the last few weeks, it means the world to me.

Let's get behind the rest of the brits this summer! "

Aw poor Jodie. That's at least twice in the last few years she's missed out on the grass.

That's some rotten luck right there.

Having done so well to get into the top 100 this is terrible news

On a brighter note, she also posted that she and Ben have been together for five years.

Will she have a protected ranking?

According to the WTA, her last match was QR1 in San Diego at the end of February. So she could get a SR of 86 (I think) if she's out for six months i,e, early September.

Such a shame for Jodie, I hope she is able to take the full 6 months off at this point, and avoid rushing into a return. It's a shame to miss such a big part of the season, and defending so much - but she's a player who is capable of going on a run, and I think it's the best way to get her ranking back up to where it belongs. She has done so well to have climbed as high as she can, and I certainly believe she can do it again, but needs to be fit. Good luck Jodie, and we will looking forward to seeing you soon.

Perhaps back for US open?
