(Reuters) – Wimbledon finalist Karolina Muchova said on Saturday she would miss next month’s Canadian Open after undergoing minor surgery.

The ‌29-year-old Czech lost to compatriot Linda Noskova 6-2 5-7 6-3 in the Wimbledon final earlier this month.

It was the second Grand Slam final defeat of Muchova's career, following ⁠her loss to Poland's Iga Swiatek at the 2023 French Open.

"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," Muchova posted on social media.

"Sad to ‌be ⁠missing Toronto this year. I was really looking forward to making my debut there, but recovery comes first."

The world number six has struggled ⁠with a series of injury setbacks during her career, including recurring wrist problems.

Muchova did not disclose the ⁠nature of the injury or provide a timeline for her return, but she is ⁠expected to be fit for the US Open, which begins next month.
