Last week she was dropped out of the Australian Tournament but is confident to play in the Luxembourg Tournament which will begin from October 14. Skipping the major event of Olympic 2020 anticipates that she is about to announce her retirement in the near future.

She parted with her longtime coach Thomas Hogstedt before the beginning of the North America hard court summer season. He was associated with her as Trainee from 2011 to 2013 and also backed her to complete her career slam reverie at Paris major in 2012. As the US Open 2019 tournament is way ahead, her newly appointed Italian coach Ricardo Piatti is well assured that she will make a strong comeback on the Tennis court.
