Former champion Emma Raducanu will officially miss the upcoming US Open at Flushing Meadows. The British star continues to battle a persistent stress fracture in her lower right leg.
She initially sustained the painful injury during the grueling grass-court portion of the season. That physical setback forced her late withdrawal from Wimbledon just weeks ago.
The 2021 champion must now sit out the year’s final Grand Slam tournament entirely. The final decision followed thorough medical assessments alongside her specialised clinical team.
