Tennis: Tracy Austin to return
Tracy Austin will return to competition in a tournament in Indian Wells, California, next month. The 30-year-old, twice the US Open champion, has been granted a wild card into the Matrix Essentials Evert Cup, which is part of the Kraft Tour. Austin has not played in a tournament since suffering a serious knee injury in a car accident in August 1989, shortly after returning to the women's tour. She had been out of action with neck and back injuries since 1984.
