Karolina Muchova will sit out the upcoming Canadian Open in Toronto after undergoing minor surgery, the Czech tennis star announced. The world No. 6 confirmed she requires extended recovery time, ruling her out of competition for several weeks.
“I had to undergo a small surgery that will keep me off the court for a few weeks,” Muchova stated regarding her medical decision.
Surgery Sidelines Rising Star
The Wimbledon finalist’s absence marks a significant blow to the Canadian Open field. Muchova, 29 years old, had been competing at the highest level of professional tennis heading into what figures to be a crucial stretch of the season.
The timing of her procedure places the US Open later in August as her next target return point, as she prioritizes being fit for that major championship.
