Emma Raducanu Struggles Physically in First-Round Exit at Ningbo Open
Raducanu lost in three sets after two medical timeouts due to a recurring lower back injury and extreme heat and humidity, continuing her difficult Asian swing with a 5-9 record in three-set matches.
- On Oct 14, 2025, British number one Emma Raducanu lost 3-6 6-4 6-1 to Lin Zhu in the Ningbo Open first round in two hours and 27 minutes.
- Facing extreme heat and humidity, players struggled in China, with Ningbo humidity at 89 and Raducanu retiring in Wuhan last week after dizziness.
- Raducanu took two medical timeouts as medical personnel treated her troublesome lower back, with a doctor and physiotherapist checking vitals and her lying prone on court.
- Her Ningbo defeat raises doubts over scheduled events including the Hong Kong Open starting October 27, while any ongoing back injury could jeopardise Emma Raducanu’s participation at the Australian Open three months away.
- Raducanu's recent three-set record underlines her inconsistency as British number one Emma Raducanu has only two wins on the Asian swing and a 5-9 WTA three-set record this season.
