Quick Update from Rachel for the blog on her plans for the coming 2009/10 season:
"Back in May this year, in the semi-final of the Slovenian International Series, I damaged 3 ligaments in my left ankle. Was quite a serious injury and its taken me the best part of three months to get over it. Am finally back in full training again as of this week.
As I've pretty much missed the whole of our summer training phase I've decided to delay the start of my season - so not starting in August like everyone else but instead spend the next 6-8 weeks training hard to get my court fitness back up. Aim is to start competing in tournaments from October, playing Bulgarian IC (early Oct; pending progress in training), Hungarian IS (late Oct), Norweigan IC, Scottish IC (Nov), Welsh IS, Turkey IS (Dec), Dunfermline Elite, Wimbledon Elite, Swedish IS (Jan) and the Senior Nationals (Feb).
During the last two seasons I've spent half the time injured. Lets hope this ankle injury is my last and see what ranking I can achieve when fit and able to compete for a whole season..."
