“Slava took a ball that I thought I might take,” Dellacqua said in Melbourne on Saturday, referring to Shvedova. Dellacqua, a 31-year-old Australian who will play doubles and mixed doubles at the Australian Open, was kept in the hospital overnight. I couldn’t do anything, couldn’t focus, couldn’t read, watch TV, wasn’t on my phone. I kept asking the doctor, ‘When am I going to feel better?’ They said it was all normal, all part of concussion. Bouchard was back on tour regularly about three months after sustaining her concussion, but Dellacqua shelved a brief comeback attempt in early 2016.
