Taylor Townsend undergoes emergency surgery after US Open triumph

Taylor Townsend recently had emergency surgery just days after winning the 2026 US Open doubles title with Katerina Siniakova. Townsend withdrew from the WTA Guadalajara Open where she was set to play against Marta Kostyuk. She acknowledged on social media that her health issues were serious enough to necessitate surgery, though specifics about the procedure remain unclear. Despite the setback, Townsend and Siniakova have already qualified for the WTA Finals, allowing for a potentially less rushed recovery timeline. Townsend indicated she would share more details about her condition later.
