The 31-year-old has been struggling back to elite fitness since watching from the sidelines during her 15-month doping ban that ended in 2017. The five-time major winner beat Daria Gavrilova of Australia 6-0, 6-4 in her debut in the tournament, but suffered with her shoulder injury afterwards. "I have worked hard for months to put it (her shoulder) in order, but to no avail," she said after her match with Gavrilova. "I still have plenty of work to do."
