South African Lloyd Harris announced on Instagram Friday that he will miss the rest of the season due to a right wrist injury.
The South African has had an up and down season where he failed to replicate the results of last season. It's a heavy blow for Harris who played in the quarterfinal of the US Open last year and he won't be able to defend those points now.
He wrote:
“Hi guys just wanted to let you know that I decided to do surgery yesterday on my right wrist and that everything went really well. I have been struggling with severe pain over the last couple [of] months which has not allowed me to be near my best so surgery was my best and only option.
“I will, unfortunately, be out until 2023 but I am confident that I will return being super healthy, motivated and eager to achieve my goals. Big thanks to my doctor, my team, sponsors, family and friends and everyone for your messages and support! Cant wait to be back on court and enjoy the sport we all love so much!”
Wrist injuries have had a bad reputation lately with Dominic Thiem still not right a whole year after his wrist injury. Matteo Berrettini on the other hand is back to winning trophies again. Let's hope it goes well for Harris as well.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
