Unfortunately for Muchova, she ended up sidelined for the remainder of the 2023 season and even had to skip the WTA Finals and miss what would have been her debut at the season-ending tournament.
After being forced to skip the WTA Finals, Muchova announced in late December she would also not be ready to compete at the Australian Open.
