Emma Raducanu successfully underwent ankle surgery just days after the former US Open champion had a minor operation on her hand.
The earlier procedure was the first of two that the player has planned for with the aim of shaving down the bone spurs that have caused her long-term problems.
The 20-year-old was most recently forced to withdraw from the Madrid Open in April due to an injury on her right hand.
Ahead of the withdrawal, Raducanu made a short press appearance , offering up only 58 words to journalists and giving a hint at the strain the player was suffering beneath the surface.
Raducanu will hope that the overhaul will sort out the issues that she has struggled with since her historic victory in Flushing Meadows, but recovery and working back to full fitness will see the former British No 1 miss out on both Wimbledon and the French Open this summer.
On Friday, Raducanu posted an update on her Instagram Stories captioned ‘2/3’ that showed the player with a heavily bandaged left ankle in a wheelchair.
She confirmed on Instagram Live that the surgery had taken place but that there was one last procedure yet to be completed.
‘I just had my ankle done,’ said Raducanu. ‘So two out of three done and one to go, but not for two weeks time.’
The world No 85 has had a checkered season, chasing a promising last-16 finish at Indian Wells in March with first-round exits at the Miami Open and the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart.

Her form is such that Raducanu was set to fall out of the top 100 rankings before it was announced that she would be taking time out for her surgeries.
After the first operation on Wednesday, Raducanu shared a hand-written letter for her fans updating them on her condition via Instagram.
