Canadian Carol Zhao is back this week, absent since last September with the recurrence of an elbow issue that has compromised her entire professional career.

It was a rough return, oft rain-delayed on a soggy court. But the ice is broken.

In Charleston, a lot of players are making the quick turnaround from the Miami hard courts to the Charleston Har-Tru as the longtime tournament doubles its prize money this year to get to parity with many of the men’s ATP 500 events.
