Emma Raducanu Set to Miss U.S. Open Due to Injury
Emma Raducanu, the former champion, is expected to withdraw from the U.S. Open due to a stress fracture in her right leg, as reported by British media. This injury has also forced her to miss Wimbledon earlier this year.
Current Rehabilitation Process
The 23-year-old tennis star is currently undergoing rehabilitation for her leg injury, which comes as the main draw for the U.S. Open is set to begin in just four weeks. Efforts to contact Raducanu’s representatives for comments by Reuters are ongoing.
Challenges Faced This Year
This year has been particularly challenging for Raducanu, marked by a series of injuries and illnesses. A right foot injury from the previous year hampered her preparations and performance at the start of the current season. In addition to this, an illness in February sidelined her for over two months, and she sustained the recent stress fracture in June, preventing her participation in Wimbledon.
Context of Previous Injuries
The sequence of injuries and health issues has significantly impacted Raducanu’s ability to compete consistently, raising concerns regarding her performance and fitness going forward.
