Czech Karolina Muchova, runner-up in the last edition of Wimbledon, will be out of action for several weeks after undergoing minor surgery, according to the player, who suffers from recurring injuries. This announcement comes a week after her loss to compatriot Linda Noskova in an exciting three-set match in the Wimbledon final. The 29-year-old player said: 'I underwent a minor surgery that will keep me off the courts for a few weeks.' Karolina, who lost her other Grand Slam final at Roland Garros in 2023 to Poland's Iga Swiatek, added: 'Everything went well, and I have already started the recovery phase.' The Czech has struggled with recurring injuries throughout her career, especially to the wrist, which made her appreciate being in good health on her way to the Wimbledon final, but she confirmed her absence from the Toronto tournament, scheduled for August 2-13. The world No. 6 said via Instagram Stories: 'Sad not to be in Toronto this year,' with a background featuring American singer Britney Spears' line: 'Oops!... I Did It Again.' Karolina continued: 'I was really looking forward to starting my participation in Toronto, but the priority is to recover from the injury.' The player did not reveal the nature of the injury she is suffering from, nor the expected recovery time, nor did she clarify whether she will be ready for the US Open, the fourth Grand Slam, which begins on August 30.
