Emma Raducanu will miss the US Open due to a stress fracture in her right leg, the latest blow in a career and season hampered by injury woes. The 23-year-old sustained the fracture during the grass-court season and pulled out of Wimbledon on the eve of the tournament after being pictured in an orthopaedic boot. PA has reported that Raducanu has decided on advice from her medical team that she will withdraw from the US Open, which begins on 30 August. Having made positive progress last summer, including winning her first matches at Flushing Meadows since lifting the trophy five years ago, it has been a frustrating 12 months for Raducanu with more persistent physical issues. After a foot injury severely hampered her pre-season training Raducanu then spent two-and-a-half months off court with a lingering post-viral illness after initially falling unwell in early February.-IndependentFollow our WhatsApp Channel now!
