Raducanu to Miss Canadian and Cincinnati Opens After Stress Fracture

Missing the North American warm-ups threatens Raducanu's ranking by removing roughly 325 WTA points.

Overview

  • Raducanu withdrew from Wimbledon after a final scan found a medically confirmed stress fracture in her leg and she said doctors advised her to stop pushing.
  • She has confirmed she will miss the Canadian Open and the Cincinnati Open and is not listed for the Washington Open, with those absences reported on Thursday.
  • Those three missed events will cost her about 325 WTA points earned last year and are expected to push her out of the world top 60.
  • The ranking drop could hand the British No. 1 position to Katie Boulter and would likely leave Raducanu unseeded at the US Open if she is fit to play.
  • Raducanu was in strong form before the injury, has been pictured in a protective boot, has given no further medical update, and faces uncertainty over recovery time and match readiness for New York.
