Former U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from an Auckland tournament, saying a back injury she has been nursing in recent weeks had not improved as much as she hoped.

Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu's participation in the upcoming Australian Open 2025 is in doubt after she withdrew from the Auckland tennis classic with a back injury. The 22-year-old Briton has been nursing the injury in recent weeks and stated it had not improved as much as she hoped.

It is a new season, but the same problems plague Emma Raducanu. On Monday evening, Raducanu announced that she had withdrawn from the ASB Classic due to a back injury. "Tried my best to be ready," said Raducanu.
