This week’s social round-up is all about celebrating exciting news in Australian tennis …
After a quarterfinal run at Miami, Daria Saville is getting closer to a top-100 return:
What a few weeks! 6 weeks ago I was ranked outside 600. The goal was to half my ranking and be around 350. We more than achieved that. I didn’t know my Achilles would pull up and it’s doing better than expected. Enjoyed every match I played! Can’t wait for clay!
