Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from another tournament due to a foot injury.
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.
“Whilst my foot is making good progress, I need a little more time before I am match fit,” she said in her post.
The world number 55 said she was “doing what I can” to be ready for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, with Anne Keothavong’s side taking on Germany on November 15.
