Wimbledon Suffers Major Blow as Emma Raducanu Withdraws on Eve of First Match Due to Stress Fracture
British number one Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from Wimbledon due to a stress fracture, just a day before her first-round match. Raducanu had been dealing with an injury, spotted wearing a protective boot on Wednesday and ending a training session early on Saturday. Despite initial plans to play through the pain, a final scan revealed the injury had developed into a stress fracture, prompting medical advice to stop competing.
Raducanu expressed her disappointment, stating that playing at Wimbledon "means everything" to her. She thanked her supporters for their encouragement, particularly during this challenging time. The former US Open champion was set to face Antonia Ruzic on Monday, but her grass-court season has now been cut short. This latest setback is another blow for Raducanu, who has struggled with injuries since winning the US Open in 2021.
