Overview
- Raducanu’s withdrawal, reported Sunday by the Press Association, is her third in a row and costs her 35 ranking points from last year’s Madrid run.
- She has not played since a 6-1, 6-1 loss to Amanda Anisimova at Indian Wells in early March.
- Her representatives say the illness first struck in February and that she has only recently resumed on-court practice to rebuild strength and timing.
- The Italian Open in early May is the tentative target for her return, with her entry dependent on regaining match fitness in training.
- Her absence removes another draw card in Madrid after withdrawals by Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, further thinning the field.
