Shriver Will Miss U.S. Open, Wimbledon
Pam Shriver will undergo arthroscopic surgery on her right shoulder June 7, forcing her to miss Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
Shriver, the 27-year-old from Baltimore who has been a Wimbledon semifinalist three times and was a U.S. Open finalist in 1978, said she injured her shoulder in preparing for the Australian Open and two months of rehabilitation have failed to cure it. She said she has been advised by her physician that the damage could become irreparable if it is not corrected.
The surgery comes just as Shriver was rejuvenating her game after a slump last season in which she lost in the third round of Wimbledon and in the first round of the Open. She also suffered a broken toe earlier this season that sidelined her for several weeks.
