Czech tennis player Karolina Muchova revealed Saturday that a recent minor surgical procedure will force her to withdraw from next month’s Canadian Open in Toronto.<\/p>

The 29-year-old had a strong showing at Wimbledon earlier this month, reaching the final before dropping a 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 decision to her compatriot Linda Noskova.<\/p>

The defeat marked the second Grand Slam final loss of Muchova’s career. Her first came at the 2023 French Open, where she fell to Poland’s Iga Swiatek.<\/p>

Taking to social media to address her situation, Muchova said, “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.”<\/p>

She added, “Sad to be missing Toronto this year. I was really looking forward to making my debut there, but recovery comes first.”<\/p>

The world number six has faced a difficult road with injuries throughout her career, including ongoing wrist trouble that has sidelined her at various points.<\/p>

Muchova did not specify what the surgery involved or give a timeline for her comeback. However, she is anticipated to be ready to compete at the U.S. Open, which gets underway next month.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
