Bethanie Mattek-Sands suffered a gruesome knee injury last summer at Wimbledon, but the 33-year-old has since made a comeback to the court.

The American has had a mixed bag of results during her return, but there are reasons to believe she might be ready to compete at a high level again in doubles. And who better for Mattek-Sands to compete with than her proven playing partner, Lucie Safarova?

It won't be easy for Mattek-Sands and Safarova, who will need to quickly rekindle their title-winning form if they hope to challenge for another major at the All England Club, but it will definitely be a lot of fun to see them competing alongside one another once again.
