Emma Raducanu’s highly anticipated return to competitive tennis has been delayed yet again. The 21-year-old British tennis star announced her withdrawal from the Hong Kong Open, where she was scheduled to play on October 28, due to an ongoing foot injury. This setback follows her early retirement from the Korea Open in September, where she sprained her foot ligaments during a match against Daria Kasatkina.
Raducanu has been battling various injuries throughout 2024, impacting her ability to maintain consistency on the WTA tour. After undergoing wrist and ankle surgeries in 2023, she hoped to regain form this year but has struggled to stay fit. Ranked 55th in the world, Raducanu admitted that the lack of match practice has hurt her performance this season.
The former US Open champion remains focused on recovery, with her sights now set on representing Great Britain in the Billie Jean King Cup finals in November. Despite the mounting challenges, Raducanu continues to receive support from fans and remains optimistic about making a strong comeback on the global stage.
This latest development raises concerns about how her ongoing injury issues might affect her future form. Fans will be eagerly watching as she prepares for her next chapter in the Billie Jean Ki
ng Cup.
