She will miss the Hong Kong Open as she continues her recovery from injury

Raducanu expressed hope she can featured for GB against Germany next month

Emma Raducanu’s season is in danger of petering out as she withdrew from yet another tournament.

 

 

The 21-year-old pulled out of next week’s Hong Kong Open, meaning she has not featured since injuring foot ligaments in Seoul last month.

 

She has played only two events since the end of July and must now be a serious doubt to join Great Britain’s attempts to win the Billie Jean King Cup at next month’s finals.

 

 

Raducanu said: ‘I’m sorry to say that I will not be able to play in Hong Kong next week. Whilst my foot is making good progress, I need a little more time before I am match fit. I hope to be able to come back and play this tournament in the future! In the meantime, I am doing what I can to be ready for BJKC.’

 

GB’s first tie in the Billie Jean King Cup finals is on November 15, against Germany.
