Muchova Undergoes 'Small Surgery' and Withdraws From Canadian Open

Her stated few‑weeks recovery leaves her availability for the North American hard‑court swing unclear.

Overview

  • Muchova confirmed Saturday that she underwent a "small surgery" and said the procedure will keep her off court for "a few weeks."
  • She announced the update on Instagram, wrote that "everything went well," and formally withdrew from the Canadian Open in Toronto where she had planned to make her debut.
  • The operation follows her July 10 loss to Linda Noskova in the Wimbledon final and creates uncertainty about whether she can play in mid‑August Cincinnati or at the US Open in late August.
  • The 29‑year‑old is ranked world No. 6 and has a documented history of wrist and other injuries, which makes even a short layoff a potential risk to her form and season momentum.
  • AFP, Tennishead and Yahoo report that Muchova did not specify the exact injury or give a firm return date, so further updates from her team will determine her next tournaments and recovery timeline.
