Karolina Muchova, the 2026 Wimbledon finalist, underwent minor surgery immediately after the Championships for an unspecified issue. The Czech tennis player will definitely skip the WTA 1000 in Toronto (August 4-10) and is doubtful for the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati (August 10-17).
Recovery is estimated at 3-4 weeks, and the main goal is to be ready for the US Open (August 30 - September 13). Muchova, who captivated the world with her varied and intelligent tennis at Wimbledon, wants to be at her best in Flushing Meadows.
The Wimbledon final loss to Linda Noskova confirmed the Czech's high level, and she now aims to recover properly for the New York Grand Slam. Her absence in Toronto and potential withdrawal from Cincinnati represent necessary precautions to avoid compromising the final part of the season.
