“This year has been extremely hard for me and as athletes, we know that recovery is part of the journey,” she said on social media.

“Due to my ongoing shoulder injury, my medical team and I’ve made the difficult decision to step off the tennis circuit for the rest of the season,” she added.

The 30-year-old said she would be back on court for the start of the 2025 campaign in Australia.
