While the return of Martina Hingis may have dominated the press coverage, there was another comeback story emanating from Carlsbad that was every bit as inspiring.

Virginie Razzano has endured a trying few years both on and off the court, losing her fiancé and coach Stephane Vidal to a brain tumor and suffering a succession of injuries that have precipitated a slow slide down the rankings.

However, in Carlsbad, the Frenchwoman offered a timely reminder of the talent that took her to No.16 in the world in 2009, defeating Svetlana Kuznetsova, Carla Suárez Navarro and Petra Kvitova during a run to the semifinals.

The key to this return to form: hard work and perseverance.

"The success is down to a lot work," Razzano said. "There is no secret. I didn't want to rush and say to myself, 'Okay, Virginie, you must make your comeback very quickly.'

"No. I took my time. I practiced a lot. I stayed focused on my job, working on my game and when I go on court trying to think I am a champion. And I am a champion, because it's not easy to comeback every time if you have some problems with injuries or pressures in life."
