Emma Raducanu Withdraws from US Exhibitions Due to Foot Injury

Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from two upcoming exhibition matches in the United States due to a foot injury. The British tennis player is experiencing minor bone bruising in her right foot.

Understanding the Injury

Despite the injury, Raducanu is still able to practice. She plans to travel to Barcelona soon for a pre-season training block.

Coaching and Training Plans

In Barcelona, her coach, Francisco Roig, will oversee her preparations for the upcoming season. Roig has been working with Raducanu since August.

Recent Training

Raducanu has been training at the National Tennis Centre in London this month. With the withdrawal from the exhibition matches, she can now focus entirely on her training in Spain.

Impact of Withdrawal

• Withdrawing from the exhibitions reduces the strain on her injured foot.
• This decision allows her to recover fully before the season begins.

New Physiotherapist

Raducanu has also engaged a new physiotherapist, Emma Stewart. Stewart previously worked with the WTA Tour and the British Rowing men’s squad.

Future Events

Stewart will be responsible for Raducanu’s strength and conditioning program. She is expected to accompany Raducanu to several events in the upcoming year.

Raducanu’s focus on recovery and training marks a strategic approach to her preparation for the new season.
