Emma Raducanu, the former US Open champion, has decided to forgo her participation in the upcoming Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. Instead, she plans to return to London to analyze her early exit at the Qatar Open. Raducanu faced a setback in the opening round, losing to Anhelina Kalinina after squandering a set point in a second-set tie-break.
The British No. 7 was granted a wild card for the first WTA 1000 event of the season in Doha. However, she has struggled since her return from injury, suffering four defeats in seven matches. Reflecting on her performance, Raducanu admitted, 'I just struggled with the timing of the ball, and I think it's going to come with more time, practice, as well as matches.'
