  • Raducanu will miss out on both Wimbledon and the French Open this summer 

Emma Raducanu has taken to social media to share a picture of herself after her third and final operation.

The 20-year-old, who shot to international stardom after winning the US Open in 2021, posted two images from her hospital bed on Monday. 

Raducanu confirmed she had undergone the last of her three surgeries – which were carried out on her two wrists and her ankle. 

The British star captioned the recent picture ‘opa. 3/3’ with a love heart emoji and a smiley face.  

The post came shortly after her ‘recent recovery roundup’ on Instagram. This saw Raducanu share a series of photos of herself relaxing on the sofa and eating chocolate.

The 20-year-old was spotted wearing a Stanford sweater and feeding her dog while recovering from her second surgery. 

Raducanu also posted a video of a roaring fire and a picture of herself alongside a medical professional on Sunday afternoon.

Raducanu decided to undergo surgery after she was forced to withdraw from the Madrid Open in April due to an injury on her right hand.

Raducanu announced her decision on Instagram by saying: ‘It is safe to say the last ten months have been difficult as I dealt with a recurring injury on a bone of both hands.’

She added: ‘I tried my best to manage the pain and play through it for most of this year and end of last year by reducing practice load dramatically, missing weeks of training as well as cutting last season short to try to heal it.

‘Unfortunately it is not enough. I’m having a minor procedure done on both hands to resolve the issues. I’m disappointed to share that I will be out for the next few months and while I am at it will have another minor procedure that is due on my ankle.

Raducanu took to Instagram on Sunday afternoon to share an update after her recent surgery 

‘It pains me that I will miss the summer events and I tried to downplay the issues so I thank all my fans who continued to support me when you did not know the facts. Look forward to seeing you all back out there.’

Raducanu will hope that the overhaul will sort out the issues that she has struggled with since her historic victory in Flushing Meadows. 

Nevertheless, recovery and working back to full fitness will see the former British No 1 miss out on both Wimbledon and the French Open this summer.
