Hard-luck Raducanu quits Miami injured

Emma Raducanu’s short-lived American revival crashed to a halt as the Briton was forced to quit prior to the start of the Miami Masters with a back injury.

The 2021 US Open champion whose career has been a downhill slide since that big day, had been hoping to improve upon a promising start in Indian Wells,  where she won two matches back-to-back for the first time in a year. before losing to Aryna Sabalenka. 

The No. 288 who once cracked the Top 10 but spent much of the 2023 season recovering from ankle and wrist surgery had been due to start in the first round against Wang Xiynu of China.

British media quoted the Raducanu camp as saying the player had been suffering some pain but did not want to risk further injury.
