Raducanu out of Hong Kong Open despite ‘progress’

World number 55 Emma Raducanu says she is making “good progress” in her recovery from a foot injury, despite pulling out of another tournament.

The 21-year-old Briton announced on Wednesday that she would not feature at the Hong Kong Open, which is set to start on 28 October.

Raducanu has not played since spraining ligaments in her foot during a Korea Open quarter-final against Daria Kasatkina on 21 September.

The former US Open champion has now pulled out of five tournaments in a row and has played in only two events since July.

“Whilst my foot is making good progress, I need a little more time before I am match fit,” Raducanu wrote on X.
