Karolina Muchova will sit out the Canadian Open in early August after undergoing a minor surgical procedure, the Czech confirmed on her social media on Saturday, as reported by [TennisUpToDate](https://tennisuptodate.com/wta/karolina-muchovas-poor-injury-luck-continues-certainly-out-of-canadian-open-after-post-wimbledon-surgery). The 2026 Wimbledon finalist is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks as she recovers.
Muchova, who also finished runner-up at Wimbledon in 2023, revealed the news herself rather than through an official tour statement, telling fans the operation came in the aftermath of a demanding grass-court campaign. She is targeting a swift return, with Cincinnati or the US Open — where she has historically been at her best — the likely comeback targets.
The setback is the latest in a run of injury troubles for the 29-year-old, whose career has repeatedly been interrupted by physical issues. Having reached the Wimbledon final earlier this month, the timing is particularly frustrating, depriving the WTA of one of its most elegant shot-makers for the North American hard-court swing.
