After weeks of rehab, Nicole Gibbs got back on the court in time to travel to France for the ITF Pro Circuit $100,000 in Cagnes-Sur-Mer.

The 24-year-old survived a 15-hour flight in economy thanks to some solid preparation.

She was rewarded with a beautiful Airbnb apartment with the French Riviera as its backdrop. The rental, which costs $160 a night, has two bedrooms, a pool and full kitchen.

The tournament field includes both Heather Watson and Carina Witthoeft, who beat Gibbs in her last two matches (Indian Wells and Miami, respectively).
