<p>“As a result, I must wait to start the season until my wrist is completely healed.”</p>
<p>“It’s annoying, but I have to remain optimistic, get better, and prepare for the remainder of the year.” Australian Open, see you in 2025,” the 27-year-old Czech player said.</p>
<p>At the US Open in September, Muchova sustained a right wrist injury while competing and making it to the semifinals.</p>
<p>Muchova, who is having one of her finest seasons to date, also made it to the French Open final this year and moved up the WTA rankings from 149th at the end of 2022 to ninth place right now.</p>
<p>The highest finish for Muchova in the Australian Open to date was a 2021 semifinal defeat.</p>
