Emma Raducanu’s stress fracture will force her to miss the US Open, it is understood. The British number one suffered the injury to her right lower leg during the grass-court season and made a late decision to pull out of Wimbledon. It is understood that following consultation with her medical team, Raducanu has concluded she will be unable to play in New York later this month. Raducanu has only recently taken her first tentative steps back on court wearing a protective boot; her withdrawal from the US Open is another blow to the 23-year-old. After a foot injury severely hampered her pre-season training, Raducanu then spent two-and-a-half months off court with a post-viral illness after initially falling unwell in early February.
