Karolina Muchova says she will be sidelined for several weeks after undergoing “small surgery,” meaning she will miss the Canadian Open. The Wimbledon finalist, speaking after the procedure, tells outlets she expects to stay off court for a short period as she recovers. Muchova describes the surgery as minor and says the operation went well, adding that she is already working on her recovery.
The announcement comes about a week after she loses the Wimbledon final to fellow Czech player Linda Noskova in a three-set match. Muchova, 29, has previously faced injury issues and has been affected by physical problems in past seasons. She also previously lost a Grand Slam final at the 2023 French Open to Iga Swiatek.
Across reports, the key points are that Muchova underwent a small procedure, she is expected to miss competitions for “a few weeks,” and her immediate focus is rehabilitation rather than a return to play.
