Emma Raducanu pulls out of Hong Kong Open despite ‘progress’ in recovery from latest injury

Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from another tournament due to injury.

The 21-year-old has pulled out of the Hong Kong Open with a foot problem.

Raducanu says she is making “good progress” in her recovery from her latest injury but says she “needs a little more time” before she is match ready.

The former US Open champion has now pulled out of five tournaments in a row and has played in only two events since July.

“Whilst my foot is making good progress, I need a little more time before I am match fit," Raducanu wrote on social media.

“I hope to be able to come back and play this tournament in the future.”

Raducanu has not played since spraining ligaments in her foot during a Korea Open quarter-final against Daria Kasatkina on 21 September.

She says she is “doing what I can to be ready” for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, with Anne Keothavong's Great Britain side taking on Germany on November 15.
