Emma Raducanu out of U.S. Open as she recovers from stress fracture in right leg

Emma Raducanu, the 2021 U.S. Open champion, has withdrawn from this year's U.S. Open due to a stress fracture in her right leg, the same injury that forced her out of Wimbledon. The 23-year-old has played only 21 matches in 2026, hampered by a foot injury and post-viral illness, and has not played or practiced since withdrawing from Wimbledon on the eve of the tournament. Prior to the injury, Raducanu had reached the final of Queen's, where she lost in straight sets to Donna Vekić.
