Bethanie Mattek-Sands has been hard at work rehabbing since her knee injury at Wimbledon. With an ambitious goal of an Australian Open return (from a ruptured patella tendon), the doubles champion is already on court... with a one-handed backhand?

Mattek-Sands has won five Grand Slam doubles crowns, and was ranked No. 1 in the world before her injury.
