Emma Raducanu withdraws from Wimbledon with stress fracture
The 2021 U.S. Open champion withdrew after a final scan showed a stress fracture, leaving Wimbledon without its highest-profile British player.
- British tennis star Emma Raducanu withdrew from Wimbledon on Sunday due to a stress fracture in her right leg, less than 24 hours before facing Croatian Antonia Ruzic in her opening match.
- Raducanu's injury surfaced during the clay-court season and worsened at the Queen's Club tournament this month, where she reached the final before a final scan confirmed the stress fracture.
- A 2021 Grand Slam champion as an 18-year-old qualifier, Raducanu has made four career appearances at Wimbledon, with her best finishes being fourth-round spots in 2021 and 2024.
- Raducanu announced the decision on Instagram Story Sunday evening, writing she was "medically advised to stop pushing through" after exhausting all options to compete.
- Earlier this year, Raducanu missed four straight events from mid-March to mid-May due to post-viral illness before returning to the court at the Internationaux de Strasbourg on May 19.
