World number two Nelly Korda announced on Friday that she had been operated on for a blood clot in her arm. The 23-year-old American had started treatment for the clot last month after seeking advice for arm swelling after a training session in Florida.
“I had surgery for a blood clot in my subclavian vein. The operation went well, Korda said in an Instagram post. I am now at home recovering and preparing to start rehabilitation. I can’t wait to get back to 100% so I can start training. »
