“It’s safe to say that the last 10 months have been difficult as I have had to deal with a recurring injury to a bone in both hands,” Raducanu said on Twitter.
“I am having minor surgery on both hands to fix the issues. I am disappointed to share that I will be out for the next few months and while I am at it I will have another minor surgery on my ankle.”
Raducanu, who has struggled with form and fitness since his fairy tale run to the US Open title as an 18-year-old qualifier in 2021, pulled out of the Madrid Open last month due to a right hand injury.
Her withdrawal from Madrid will likely see her fall outside the top 100 of the WTA rankings for the first time since her stunning breakthrough in New York.
She also lost in the first round in Miami and Stuttgart and was beaten in straight sets by Coco Gauff in the second round of the Australian Open.
“It pains me to miss the events of the summer and I tried to play down the issues, so thank you to all my fans who continued to support me when you didn’t know the facts,” she said. added.
