Emma Raducanu faces a race to be available to participate for Britain in next month’s Billie Jean King Cup finals after another tournament withdrawal. The 21-year-old posted on X that she was pulling out of next week’s Hong Kong Open because of a shortage of match fitness.
Raducanu has not played since retiring midway through her quarter-final against Daria Kasatkina in the Korea Open last month and revealed she had sprained ligaments in her foot. “I’m sorry to say that I will not be able to play in Hong Kong next week. Whilst my foot is making good progress, I need a little more time before I am match fit,” she said.
