"I'm really excited": Karolina Muchova confirms return after 10 months from wrist injury, sets sights on Wimbledon and Paris Olympics
WTA
Czech Republic’s tennis star Karolina Muchova has revealed
that she is set to return to court after recovering from a wrist injury. The 27-year-old has spent 10 months on the sidelines after
suffering a serious wrist injury. However, the wait is now set to end as Muchova
has confirmed that she is fit enough to return to the court.
The Olomouc-born also confirmed that she will participate in the Paris Olympics and is looking to prepare well for Wimbledon 2024. The third Grand Slam of the year will begin from July 01 whereas Paris Olympics will star from July 26.
"At the end of this week, I'll fly to Eastbourne with
the team where we'll finally try to play some matches in preparation ahead of
Wimbledon," she said. "After Wimbledon I'll return back to the clay,
maybe play a tournament, or straight to the Olympics. I'm really excited for
the Olympics. I've never been to one, and it's around the corner in Paris, so I
can't be more excited."
It will be interesting to see how Muchova performs at Wimbledon, as she has not played in any Grand Slam in the last 18 months. Her last appearance in a major event was the US Open, where she lost in the semifinal to America’s Coco Gauff in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5.
Before getting injured, Muchova was arguably going through the best phase of her career, as the 2022 season was the best in her career. She played her maiden and, till now, the only Grand Slam final in 2022 as well as she finished as the runner-up in the French Open after losing to the current world number one Poland’s Iga Swiatek with a score of 6–2, 5–7, 6–4.
Before that, Muchova also played in the semifinal of the
Australian Open in 2021, where she lost to America’s Jennifer Brady in straight sets
with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.

- 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.

- 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
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
