Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu will miss the next two tennis Grand Slam tournaments due to injury.
As the 20-year-old Briton announced on her social media channels, she had to undergo surgery on both wrists. In addition, there is an even smaller operation on the ankle.
“I am disappointed to announce that I will be out for the next few months,” wrote the tennis player: “It is painful that I miss the summer events.”
In addition, Raducanu, who after her surprising triumph at the US Open 2021 was only rarely able to celebrate sporting success, posted a picture of herself in the hospital bed.
The French Open will take place in Paris from May 28th to June 11th, while Wimbledon in London is scheduled for July 3rd to July 16th.
