Raducanu once again sidelined by injury?
Emma Raducanu has been plagued by physical problems ever since her surprise US Open title in 2021, the high point of her young career to date. After a very complicated 2023 season in which she played just 10 matches, dropping her below 300th in the world rankings, the 21-year-old Briton was off to a much better start in 2024.
Now back up to 54th in the world, Raducanu will have to contend with a new injury. After touching ligaments in her foot in Seoul, she was forced to retire in the quarter-finals after losing the first set to Daria Kasatkina. And on Monday, she announced that she would have to withdraw from the WTA 1000 in Beijing, which began on Wednesday. She spoke on the subject via her X account.
Emma Raducanu: "Last week in Seoul, I sprained the ligaments in my foot, which unfortunately needs a little more time to heal😔. This means I won't be able to play in Beijing, but I hope to return to competition as soon as possible 🤞❤️🩹"
