Brisbane, QLD, Australia, 27 March 2025 | Camille Russo

Storm Hunter is making her highly anticipated return to team tennis, representing Australia in the Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Qualifiers in Brisbane in just two weeks.

Hunter ruptured her Achilles tendon in April last year and has shown remarkable resilience in her return to tennis after nearly a year on the sidelines.

The injury cut short what was shaping as a standout season; she finished 2023 as the world No.1 doubles player and was also closing in on the singles top 100 rankings.

Now, following months of rehabilitation, Hunter is back on court and is eager to don the green and gold once again.

“I’m so excited,” Hunter said after being named in the team. “It was a bit of a dream of mine to get back and represent Australia again. Being a part of this team is something that’s always meant so much to me.”

The upcoming tie in Brisbane holds particular significance for Hunter, as it was during last year’s Billie Jean King Cup in the same city that she suffered her season-ending injury.

“Obviously after what happened last year, I really want to change my memory of playing in Brisbane,” she said.

“It’s so special to wear the green and gold, and I don’t take those moments for granted. This team means everything to me, and I can’t wait to be back out there, fighting for our country.”

Since rejoining the tour in February, Hunter has steadily rebuilt her confidence and form, recently reaching the Miami Open doubles quarterfinals alongside American partner, Caroline Dolehide.

“You can practice as much as you want, but nothing compares to match play. Being in a tournament, dealing with pressure moments, and backing yourself when it’s all on the line,” she explained.

“My first matches back in Indian Wells were tough, but they gave me confidence. I’ve been improving every single day, and it’s really exciting to see that work start to pay off.”

Hunter’s comeback journey has been about more than just physical recovery – it’s been about patience, resilience and a deep love for the game.

“I probably put really high expectations on myself, because when I got injured, I was doing really, really well,” she admitted. “This past year has been a process, both physically and mentally, but I’ve learned to be patient and kind to myself.”

For Hunter, the upcoming tie marks a long-awaited milestone: her first-ever home appearance in the Billie Jean King Cup.

“It’s crazy because I’ve been on the team for quite a few years, I debuted when I was 17 or 18 and I’ve never played a home tie,” she said.

“Last year I was selected to play, and then I had the injury. So now, to be healthy and have the chance to wear the green and gold and play in front of the home crowd – it’s a dream come true.”

Tickets for the Billie Jean King Cup are now on sale for the chance to witness Storm Hunter’s inspiring return and cheer on Team Australia as they compete for a spot in the Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Finals later this year.

The interview with Storm Hunter will be featured on tonight’s episode of The Tennis, available on all podcast platforms and the Australian Open YouTube channel.
