Elena Vesnina explained how long it would take Khachanov to recover from a stress fracture

Olympic champion Elena Vesnina in a conversation with , she said that Karen Khachanov It will take more than a month to recover from a stress fracture.

Earlier, Khachanov officially withdrew from the Grand Slam tournament in the UK: the tennis player will miss Wimbledon due to a stress fracture, the Russian will be replaced Francisco Cherundolo from Argentina. The last time Khachanov stepped onto the court was in the Roland Garros quarter-finals, where he lost to eventual tournament winner Novak Djokovic of Serbia. After that, the 27-year-old tennis player missed the grass court tournament in Halle due to injury. He is currently ranked 11th in the ATP rankings.

Of course, a stress fracture is a very unpleasant injury. It will take a long time to recover. I’m sorry for Karen, but injuries are part of sport. Of course, I really wanted to see Khachanov at Wimbledon after his good performances at the Australian Open and Roland Garros. Apparently his body couldn’t withstand the intensity of the season, now he needs some rest and recovery. I’m sure Karen will do everything right, recover and come back even stronger.

Of course, this injury will lubricate Khachanov’s season. He will need a long time for processing – more than a month. I hope Karen will be ready for the US Open. But missing the entire grass season is very disappointing. And after Wimbledon, there are many tournaments that Khachanov probably planned to play. I wish Karen a speedy recovery,” Vesnina told .

In early June, it was reported that the majority of Russian tennis players were having difficulty obtaining UK visas to play at Wimbledon. Khachanov then admitted that he already had all the necessary documents. Wimbledon 2023 will take place from July 3-16.
