Tennis: Britain's Emma Raducanu withdraws from Miami Open with lower back injury
Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the Miami Open with a lower back injury, tournament organisers said on Tuesday, in the latest setback for the 21-year-old.
Raducanu spent eight months out with wrist and ankle problems last year but returned to action in January and had an encouraging performance at Indian Wells last week where she reached the third round.
"I have been experiencing lower back pain and at this stage of my return to competition I don’t want to risk anything happening," said Raducanu.
"I really tried my best to be ready and I’m sad to be pulling out of Miami as it’s a cool tournament but wish the event all the best."
The 2021 US Open winner, a wildcard entry at Miami, was scheduled to play China's Wang Xiyu in the first round on Tuesday.
Raducanu had surgeries on her ankle and both wrists during last year.
