24th Seed Emma Raducanu, has pulled out of the Miami Open before her second-round match.
She is reportedly still recovering from a virus that has troubled her since the Middle East swing last month.
Raducanu started brightly in Indian Wells last month with the return of coach Mark Petchey on a short term basis.
But having reached the third round she suffered an inexplicably heavy defeat 6-1, 6-1 in less than an hour to world No. 6 Amanda Anisimova in the third round.
Withdrawing from Miami means she will be unable to defend the 215 points she earned from her quarter-final run last year,
This loss will probably drop her world ranking to No. 26 after Miami and the tour returns to the European clay circuit.
