"The good news is the surgery was successful and I have already started rehab," she wrote on Facebook, showing herself with her leg in a walking boot.

In an interview with Tennis Channel, the former Grand Slam semfinalist suggested she would aim to return for Wimbledon.

Stephens has fallen to No. 52 in the rankings.
