Injury-prone Wimbledon finalist Karolina Muchova said on Saturday she would miss “a few weeks” of competition after undergoing “a small surgery”.<\/p>\n
She made the announcement a week after losing the Wimbledon final to Czech compatriot Linda Noskova<\/a> in a three-set thriller.<\/p>\n “I had to undergo a small surgery that will keep me off the court for a few weeks,” said the 29-year-old.<\/p>\n “Everything went well, and I’m already working on my recovery,” added Muchova<\/a>, who also lost her other Grand Slam final at the 2023 French Open to Iga Swiatek<\/a>.<\/p>\n Muchova, who has grappled with injuries particularly to her wrist throughout her career, hailed her good health en route to the Wimbledon final.<\/p>\n But now she said she would sit out the WTA tournament in Toronto on August 2nd-13th.<\/p>\n “Sad to be missing Toronto this year,” the world number six said in an Instagram story against a backdrop of Britney Spears’s “Oops!… I did it again”.<\/p>\n “I was really looking forward to making my debut there, but recovery comes first,” Muchova added.<\/p>\n She did not specify the injury nor the length of the recovery, or whether she expected to be fit for the US Open starting on August 30th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Injury-prone Wimbledon finalist Karolina Muchova said on Saturday she would miss “a few weeks” of competition after undergoing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":698879,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-698878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=698878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/698879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=698878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=698878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=698878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
