Emma Raducanu pulls out of US exhibition matches with foot issue

Advertisements

Emma Raducanu has pulled out of two exhibition matches in the United States next month because of a minor foot issue.

The British number one has light bone bruising in her right foot, but she is able to practise and is soon expecting to travel to Barcelona for a pre-season training block.

Preparations for next season will be overseen in Spain by coach Francisco Roig, who began working with Raducanu in August.

The 23-year-old Raducanu has spent part of this month training at the National Tennis Centre in London and will now be able to focus entirely on the overseas camp.

Not having to play two exhibition matches nearly a month before the start of the new season is a way of reducing the load on her foot.

Raducanu also has a new physiotherapist, Emma Stewart, who used to work for the WTA Tour before joining the men’s squad at British Rowing.

Stewart will travel to some events next year and, in the short term, also take control of Raducanu’s strength and conditioning programme.
