BREAKING NEWS:

RETIRED Australian tennis player Alicia Molik is embarking on a comeback.


Molik is fit and injury-free after regular sessions at Melbourne Park and ready for another tilt on the pro circuit, with doubles believed to be her major focus at this stage.

The former top-10 player had hoped to keep her return low-key, but the training sessions became so strenuous in recent weeks it was obvious she was not hitting for fun.

The Herald Sun yesterday spotted Molik hitting freely with former pro and Tennis Australia coach Louise Field.

After enquiries, sources confirmed it was far more than a hit and giggle session.

Sources close to Molik have confirmed she is excited at the prospect of another crack at top level tennis.

Molik appears to have lost several kilograms and may be trimmer than when she retired in September last year at the age of 27, mentally worn out by a string on injury setbacks.
