Karolina Muchova's poor injury luck continues, certainly out of Canadian Open after post Wimbledon surgery
WTA
Karolina Muchova will not be playing at the Canadian Open in early August and is out for a few weeks after having surgery, she has confirmed on her social media on Saturday.
Muchova reached the final of Wimbledon only a week ago, but she posted a reel on Instagram that unlike others that have decided to go on holiday, the universe decided different and she has undergone small surgery.
The Czech ace lost to her compatriot Linda Noskova in the final of Wimbledon in what is her best chance yet to win a Grand Slam. She is often seen as one of the most talented players on tour, but suffers with horrific injury luck. She has reached new heights like Noskova this week on the WTA Rankings.
"I had to undergo a small surgery that will keep me off the court for a few weeks. Everything went well, and I’m already working on my recovery.Thank you for all your messages and support. I’ll be back soon," she wrote on social media.
Her close friend, Priscilla Hon also used it to joke in her comments. "You are making the hospital gown and white tights kind of a vibe tho," she wrote with a laughing emoji and a white love heart.
It is perceived that presumably said surgery is on her wrist. Muchova has often struggled with her wrist in recent years which has seen her miss huge chunks of the season as a result.
Presumably getting it done now means she will be back for earliest Cincinnati, but at the very least the US Open where she often defends a huge haul of points. She defends another Quarter-Final this time.
Muchova not done in Grand Slam quest
Muchova didn't allude to this post final, just with the clear message of being annoyed that she couldn't win it against Noskova as well as calling it a mere setback in the ultimate goal.
"I just wanted to fight for every point," she said post final. "This tournament matters to me. I'm like, 'OK, I don't want to lose 2-6, 2-6.' I'm like, 'I'm going to do everything to break her serve and keep my serve.' I was still believing that I can turn it around."
"I just wanted to fight for every point," she said of her mentality when facing the big deficit. "This tournament matters to me. I'm like, 'OK, I don't want to lose 2-6, 2-6.' I'm like, 'I'm going to do everything to break her serve and keep my serve.' I was still believing that I can turn it around."
"If I had one regret, I would say in the first game of the second set when I had advantage, I had the forehand when I wanted to go down the line and I hit it back cross, and then she smashed it. If I get that lead, 1-0, it would definitely feel different for me to start the set that way, but it didn't happen."
But she said it was a mere setback, not the end. "I think my game is good. I'm improving, so I feel good on the court," she said. "It's a dream of mine, it's a goal of mine to lift that Grand Slam trophy. This is a setback, but as well a motivation."
