Injured Raducanu to miss US Open

Published Updated

LONDON: Former champion Emma Raducanu will miss the US Open because of the stress fracture in her leg that also forced her to pull out of Wimbledon, British media reported on Monday.

Raducanu, 23, is currently undergoing rehabilitation for the injury, with the US Open’s main draw due to kick off in four weeks.

Reuters has reached out to the Briton’s representatives for comment.

Raducanu has struggled with injuries and illness throughout this year, with a right foot injury she suffered last year affecting her early season preparations and campaign.

An illness in February forced her out again for more than two months, and in June she picked up the stress fracture that forced her out of Wimbledon.
