Blake returns to court after three months, after a knee injury. "Rehab went great. It is tough to find a balance of how hard to push the knee during the rehab. it has to be strengthened, but can't be pushed to the point that it irritates it and makes it worse. So it is a lot of trial and error. We had one little setback where we pushed too hard, but that's to be expected. It's feeling great now and ready to go." – said Blake. He didn't require initial surgery when the injury was sustained, he had a 6-8 weeks off for treatment and his level of fitness is unknown. Benneteau isn’t a grass court player but he has some matches under his belt on the surface, he is steady enough on defensive as offensive as well and Blake needs to be strong on serve and forehand wing to make an impact against the Frenchman.
