WATCH: Stephens makes her return to the practice court

The former world No. 11 hopes to be back competing this summer.

Published Apr 29, 2017

Sloane Stephens is back on her feet and hitting the practice court for the first time since undergoing surgery in January due to a stress fracture in her left foot. The 23-year-old has not played a match since Rio.

To avoid putting full pressure on her foot, Stephens is using creative techniques to get back on court (she's training at UCLA).

Stephens took a big step (literally) on her road to recovery earlier this month when she was able to walk on both feet for the first time since surgery put her in a boot.

She's come a long way since her peg-leg days.

The former world No. 11 explained the details of her surgery and recovery on the Tennis Channel, adding that she hopes to be back in time for Wimbledon.
