The 2015 season has started today for Sara, and unfortunately it started with a loss: 3-6, 2-6 to Daniela Hantuchova. It has been a difficult offseason for Sara; she was suffering from whooping cough, and because of the cough she also sustained a rib injury. Because of this Sara hasn’t been able to prepare for the new season as she’d have liked, but as she said on Twitter, it’s good to be back on the court anyway!

Sara and Roberta also play doubles this tournament. Tonight they play their first first round, against Yuliya Beygelzimer and Eva Hrdinova.
