Emma Raducanu to Miss US Open Due to Injury Recovery

Emma Raducanu will miss the upcoming US Open as she continues her recovery from a right lower leg stress fracture, according to sports.yahoo.com. The British number one sustained the injury during the grass-court season, forcing a late withdrawal from Wimbledon, and will now sit out the tournament at Flushing Meadows beginning on August 23.

Medical Timeline and Rehabilitation Milestones

The decision to skip the hard-court major follows latest consultations with Raducanu’s medical team, as reported by sports.yahoo.com. The 23-year-old had only recently stepped back on court wearing a protective boot following a turbulent 12-month physical cycle.

A foot injury hampered her pre-season preparation before a post-viral illness sidelined her for two and a half months after falling unwell in early February.

Competitive Context and Coaching Stability

The latest layoff interrupts a brief positive spell for the 2021 US Open champion, who returned for the end of the clay-court season and reunited with Andrew Richardson, the coach who guided her to her New York title, per sports.yahoo.com. Although their time on court has been limited, Raducanu recorded one of the best weeks of her career by reaching her biggest final since New York at Queen’s Club in June. She has not competed since that grass-court appearance.
