When Taylor Townsend Made a Firm Promise About Being “Front and Center” at Roland Garros
Townsend was forced to skip a major part of the clay court season amid the concussion she experienced in Miami. Amid recovering from the health issues, the WTA star posted an update on Instagram, promising fans of her strong comeback at Roland Garros.
“I was hoping to be ready for Madrid, but ended up doing some workouts and some tests and all of my symptoms came back, so these last three or four days have been the first time that I have had no headaches… I really wanted to give myself a chance to heal. I was really scared about my head, and that’s not something I want to play with, so I’m just giving myself an opportunity to really heal… I will be ready front and center at Roland Garros,” she said.
