Bethanie Mattek-Sands Completes Comeback; Wins Mixed Doubles With Jamie Murray
Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jamie Murray celebrated their victory against Alicja Rosolska and Nikola Mektic in mixed doubles on Saturday at the U.S. Open.After she ruptured her patella tendon last year at Wimbledon, unmooring her right kneecap, Bethanie Mattek-Sands was hopeful that she would someday be able to flex her knee again, never mind think about winning another Grand Slam title.
“If I thought about holding a U.S. Open trophy last year, I would have been discouraged,” Mattek-Sands said.
Step-by-step, she recovered. And on Saturday, she got that trophy.
