Austria’s best tennis player Julia Grabher has to end the current season early due to an injury. The 27-year-old from Vorarlberg had to undergo wrist surgery in Vienna on Wednesday, as her management announced on Friday. “I will be accompanied by a splint for the first time, before I slowly and carefully go into advanced training,” said Grabher. Most recently, the world number 54. have to cancel their appearance at the US Open at short notice.

The operation was necessary and the right choice “to return to the pitch as quickly as possible, to make sure everything heals properly and to regain full confidence in my wrist,” added the red-white-red number one. “My rehab starts now and I will do everything I can to come back stronger than ever next year!”

Just like Dominic Thiem, who also suffered from a persistent injury to his right batting hand, Grabher is now facing a longer break. “She will definitely be out for three months, but that’s the ‘best-best scenario’. Bitter for the girl,” said her coach Günter Bresnik to the APA.
