(Football news) Prior to undergoing surgery, the 2021 US Open winner lost her opening match 6-2 6-1 against Jelena Ostapenko at the Stuttgart Open in April. Since then, she has not competed on the WTA Tour.
Carpal bosses is a syndrome where bone grows too close to the joint. Raducanu underwent surgery on one of her ankles and both wrists, but it was hoped that she would be able to play by the end of the year.
The 21-year-old, who dropped to 296 in the global rankings, ultimately decided to forego the rest of the 2023 season in order to concentrate on her recuperation. Nevertheless, she was given a wildcard for the Auckland Championship.
In 2023, Raducanu participated in just ten WTA Tour matches. Her ankle issues started during the ASB Classic, where she suffered a rolling ankle and had to withdraw from her match against Viktoria Hruncakova in the second round.
After being forced to withdraw, Raducanu took a savage stance against the ASB Classic organizers on the playing surface. However, she recovered in time to compete in the Australian Open, where Coco Gauff defeated her in the second round.
The British player’s finest performance of 2023 came in a last-16 run at the Indian Wells Masters, where she lost to Iga Swiatek after winning three straight games. However, after splitting from Sebastian Sachs in June, she hasn’t had a full-time coach.
