The 37-year-old tennis star further shared with SABC Sport that there hasn't been balance in between her schedule, as she continues to compete - building up to the Paralympics, which will take place from 28 August to 08 of September 2024.

“I will be honest there is no balance at the moment, I just keep competing, trying to make sure that I am in the right position in terms of rankings - come 2024 Paralympics.’’
