British tennis sensation Emma Raducanu has been forced to withdraw from the Miami Open just ahead of her first-round match due to a lower back injury, as reported by various news outlets on Monday. The 21-year-old, who captured the tennis world’s attention with her remarkable triumph at the 2021 U.S. Open, had received a wildcard entry into the main draw of the Miami Open.
Raducanu’s decision to withdraw comes as a disappointment for fans eagerly anticipating her performance in Miami, especially following her recent appearance at Indian Wells, where she showcased her talent but faced an early exit in the third round against world number two Aryna Sabalenka.
The young tennis star’s journey has not been without its challenges, as she missed a significant portion of the previous season due to surgeries on her ankle and both wrists. Despite these setbacks, Raducanu has demonstrated resilience and determination, earning admiration for her perseverance on and off the court.
Raducanu’s withdrawal from the Miami Open raises questions about her upcoming schedule, particularly her participation in Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup tie against France next month. As fans eagerly await her return to full fitness, Raducanu remains a formidable force in the world of tennis, with her potential to achieve further success undiminished by this setback.
