British tennis player Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the tennis tournament WTA 250 Transylvania Open in Cluj-Napoca, Romania from October 8 to 16. The cause is a wrist injury, announced the organizers of the competition.
Emma Raducanu’s season was marked by a series of injuries. Last month, the 19-year-old tennis player was forced to withdraw from the semifinals of the WTA 250 Korea Open in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
The 2021 US Open champion lost to Daria Kasatkina in the first round of the WTA 500 Ostrava Open in the Czech Republic. She fell to 67th in the world rankings, while she was 10th in July.
Emma Raducanu is a British professional tennis player, who reached a career-high ranking of No 10 in the WTA on July 11, 2022, and is the current British No 1. She is the first British woman to win a Grand Slam singles title since Virginia Wade at the 1977 Wimbledon Championships. Emma Raducanu was born in Toronto and raised in London. She made her WTA Tour debut in June 2021. With a wildcard entry at Wimbledon, ranked outside the top 300, she reached the fourth round in her first major tournament. At the US Open two months later, Emma Raducanu became the first singles qualifier in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam title, beating Leylah Fernandez in the final without dropping a set in the tournament. It was the second Grand Slam tournament of her career; she holds the Open Era record for the fewest majors played before winning a title.
