After undergoing arthroscopic surgery on her right elbow, Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen will have a “short break” from competing on the WTA Tour.
The 22-year-old Chinese tennis player claimed to have been “dealing with persistent pain” after falling in the first round of this year’s Wimbledon.
The world number six wrote on Instagram, “Now begins the recovery journey.”
“Over the coming weeks and months, I’ll be focusing entirely on rehab, making every effort possible to come back stronger and healthier.
I think it’s a necessary step in the right direction as a quick break.
She won the women’s singles title at the Paris Games in 2024, and she also won the final of her five WTA titles at the Japanese Pan Pacific Open in October that year.
Zheng has never won a Grand Slam, but he did make it to the 2024 Australian Open final, the US Open quarter-finals twice, and the French Open final eight this year.
