Two-time Grand Slam champion Taylor Townsend came clean on social media about missing out on the beginning of the clay-court season.
Since reaching the doubles semifinals at the Miami Open, the second-ranked doubles player has pulled out of tournaments, all the way through next week’s Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome.
“I’m sure you guys have been wondering where I’ve been, why I’ve been withdrawing from tournaments,” the American said on Instagram. “In Miami, I fell and ended up getting a mild concussion in my quarterfinal doubles match and had two days off, played my semifinal match on Friday, and ended up getting a lot worse, so it’s my first time back out on court in almost a month.”
