As the British number one announced on Wednesday, she had to undergo surgery on both hands. An operation on the ankle is still pending.
The 2021 US Open winner has been plagued by injury problems in recent months, slipping down to 85th in the world rankings. Raducanu also had to give up at the Madrid Open due to a hand injury. "It's safe to say the last 10 months have been difficult as I've been dealing with a recurring bone injury in both hands," the 20-year-old wrote on her social media accounts.
It is still unclear when the Brit will have fully recovered. According to her own statement, she will be absent for at least "the next few months" and will certainly miss the summer events of the WTA tour.
