Emma Raducanu will miss this year’s French Open, Wimbledon and the entire grass-court season to undergo surgery on both hands and her ankle.

In a statement posted on social media, Raducanu wrote: “It is safe to say the last 10 months have been difficult as I dealt with a recurring injury on a bone of both hands.

“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 … will have another minor procedure that is due on my ankle.

“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.”
