  • Emma Raducanu will reportedly miss the U.S. Open due to a stress fracture in her right leg, the same injury that caused her to withdraw from Wimbledon.
  • The former champion is currently undergoing rehabilitation, with the U.S. Open main draw set to begin in four weeks.
  • Raducanu has faced multiple injury setbacks throughout the year, including a foot injury and an illness that sidelined her for over two months.

Former U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu is expected to miss this year's tournament due to a stress fracture in her right leg, according to reports from British media. This injury is the same one that forced her to withdraw from Wimbledon earlier this year.

Raducanu is currently undergoing rehabilitation for the injury. The main draw of the U.S. Open is scheduled to commence in four weeks, leaving insufficient time for her recovery. Reuters has sought comment from Raducanu's representatives.

The 23-year-old has experienced a challenging year marked by persistent injuries and illness. A right foot injury sustained last year impacted her early season preparations and performance. Subsequently, an illness in February led to a break of more than two months, followed by the stress fracture in June that ultimately led to her withdrawal from Wimbledon.
