If she likes. Because: "My motivation is not particularly high," Pliskova told Bethanie Mattek-Sands in the fourth edition of "Tennis United".

Pliskova has already reached number one in the WTA world rankings in her career and was just about to win her first Grand Slam tournament in the US Open final against Angelique Kerber in 2016. Nothing came of it, Pliskova is probably the best player at the moment who has never triumphed with a major.
