"Obviously playing at the elite level or top level of any sport is hard at the best of times but when you haven't played for 17 months, obviously she's going to be extremely rusty, probably be lacking confidence in movement, body," PA quotes Murray as saying.
"There is a lot of mental baggage that she will have to deal with when she comes back.
"I don't know if she works with someone on that front but it is not going to come overnight, it's going to take some time and some matches."
