Paolini, recovered from her injury in Dubai, should be present at Indian Wells

We left her in tears during her round-of-16 match at the WTA 1000 Dubai last week. Against Sofia Kenin, Jasmine Paolini, who had just lost the first set, was injured on the third point of the second set.

After receiving medical treatment, the UAE title-holder was able to continue the match, but failed to register a single game afterwards, losing 6-4, 6-0.

After that, she had to withdraw from the doubles tournament she was playing with Sara Errani. A result that dropped her out of the top 5 in singles after a faultless run last year.

A few hours after her defeat, Paolini was optimistic about her state of health, saying that she didn't think her injury was serious.

On her X account (formerly Twitter), the French Open and Wimbledon finalist once again reassured her fans.

"I took a few days off to have my foot checked. I'm feeling much better now! I'm going to get back to training and prepare as best I can for the tournaments in the USA", wrote the WTA's 6th-ranked player on the social network.

The next WTA 1000 of the season will take place on the Californian courts of Indian Wells from March 5.
