Ana Konjuh back for Fed Cup

Ana Konjuh, a US Open quarterfinalist at 19 and a former junior No. 1 who won the Eddie Herr/Orange Bowl combo and singles and doubles at the Australian Open within two months, is back and playing Fed Cup.

Currently No. 547, Konjuh played her first match since Wimbledon in St. Petersburg last week. She had played just four tournaments since the 2017 US Open, after having elbow surgery for the second time.

Her career high was No. 20, a month before her second surgery.

Konjuh lost to Cagla Buyukackay in three sets Wednesday, but Croatia won its first Euro/African zonal tie 2-1.
