Emma Raducanu will not play at the Macau tournament

The British tennis player has withdrawn from the tournament in Macau, which was due to start on 2 December, The Guardian reports.

Emma Raducanu's return to professional tennis has been postponed until the new year after she withdrew from an exhibition tournament. According to a member of the tennis player's team, the organisers asked her team to take part in the event so that they would have enough time to find a replacement if she was unable to play. Although Raducanu had hoped to participate, the fact that she was still recovering from her injury and could not guarantee her appearance meant that she decided not to participate.

Since returning to training, Raducanu has made significant progress with her rehabilitation at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton. Having decided to part ways with her coach Sebastian Sachs, she has not yet formed a team of physiology, fitness and technical skills coaches around her.

The athlete has not played since April. In May, Raducanu underwent surgery on both wrists and her right ankle. We would like to add that the tennis player has one victory at Grand Slam tournaments. In 2021, Raducanu won the US Open.

On the courts of Australia and France, the best result is the 2nd round, and at home Wimbledon - the 4th round. The highest position in the WTA rankings is 10th place in July 2022.
