Wimbledon finalist Karolina Muchova will miss next month’s Canadian Open after undergoing minor surgery, the Czech world number six said on Saturday.
The 29-year-old reached her second Grand Slam final earlier this month before losing 6-2 5-7 6-3 to fellow Czech Linda Noskova at Wimbledon.
It followed her runner-up finish at the 2023 French Open, where she lost to Poland’s Iga Swiatek.
“I had to undergo a small surgery that will keep me off the court for a few weeks. Everything went well, and I’m already working on my recovery,” Muchova wrote on social media.
“Sad to be missing Toronto this year. I was really looking forward to making my debut there, but recovery comes first.”
Muchova has endured several injury setbacks throughout her career, including recurring wrist problems.
She did not reveal the nature of the injury or provide a timetable for her return, although she is expected to be fit for the U.S. Open, which begins next month.
