Taylor contracted a bacterial infection called leptospirosis, which would keep her from playing tennis for a month.

Police later concluded that there was no evidence of deliberate poisoning.

Wimbledon granted wild card entries to her in both the singles and the doubles (partnering Freya Christie) qualifying draws, losing both in the first round. In November she began working with coaches Xavier Budo and David Sunyer, which she credits with changing her mindset, leading to her most successful period to date.
