That's the very big if. I hope she's realized that she should be limiting her schedule in order to keep herself fit from now on and doesn't try to go for too much, too fast. Go ahead and play Wimbledon, but maybe look to play only one or two select events (W&S + National Bank 1000s) between now and the US open before you start ramping things up. With her it sadly almost always feels like when, not if in terms of the next injury.
Milos on the other side, seems to finally be getting through matches without any huge issues (fingers crossed). It certainly took some time after getting back into a string of ATP matches again as his comeback really started about 1 year ago now. Another win or two at Queens and hopefully a run through quallies and a few rounds at Wimbledon should get his ranking back into the top 100 just in time for the hardcourt swing.
