BEIJING, March 12 (Xinhua) -- China's rising tennis star Shang Juncheng announced via social media on Wednesday that he has successfully undergone foot surgery and is determined to return to the court as soon as possible.

The 20-year-old revealed that the surgery aimed to address an injury sustained during this year's Australian Open. "After the Australian Open, my foot started causing issues. Over the past few weeks, my team and I consulted extensively with medical experts and decided to proceed with a minor procedure. The good news is the surgery went smoothly. I can't wait to get back on the court," Shang wrote.

Shang had retired hurt in his Australian Open first round match against Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in January due to discomfort in his foot.
