Emma Raducanu sparks Hong Kong doubts after health woes strike again in Ningbo
The British No. 1 retired after multiple medical timeouts due to a recurring lower back injury that affected her movement during a first-round loss at the Ningbo Open.
- On Tuesday at the Ningbo Open, Emma Raducanu, the British No 1 and 2021 US Open champion, lost 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 to Chinese wildcard Zhu Lin, exiting in the first round.
- Recurring fitness issues forced Raducanu to retire last week at the Wuhan Open with dizziness in hot, humid conditions .
- Multiple medical timeouts saw Raducanu twice seek treatment and call the doctor after seven games, yet she refused to abandon the match despite limited movement as Zhu dominated.
- Raducanu now faces uncertainty over upcoming Asian events, as her exit raises doubt about playing the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo on 20 October and the Hong Kong Open a week later, while any back injury could jeopardise her Australian Open build-up three months away.
- Having lost three straight matches starting with Jessica Pegula at the China Open in late September, Raducanu wrote on Threads, 'Last day at the doctor's in Wuhan... feeling better now,' while battling through fitness issues.
