On Thursday, the 25-year-old confirmed she was going under the knife with a post on Instagram.

She wrote: “One more op for luck…

“After months of struggling through all the rehab and treatments available, a decision was made this week to have another hip surgery & try fix the pain for good.

“Very much hope to be back on court soon but in the meantime I cant wait to walk my dog without limping. Small victories.”

A picture of Robson from her hospital bed and a clip as she walked with crutches were also shared online.

Born in Australia, Robson moved to the UK aged six and first appeared at Wimbledon in 2009.

She shot to fame with her exploits at the London Olympics and reached the fourth round at SW19 a year later while breaching the WTA top 30.

Since then however, she has gradually dropped down the rankings having struggled to overcome the injuries.

June 2018 saw Robson have her first hip operation and she declared that her return in February had gone “better than expected”.
