Emma Raducanu denied savagecard as Brit handed disjoine US Open setback | Tennis | Sport

Emma Raducanu has not been donaten a savagecard for the upcoming Cincinnati Open in a meaningful blow to her preparations for the US Open. Fellow Brits Katie Boulter and Jack Dviolationr will perestablish in the tournament this coming week but Cameron Norrie has distake partn.

Raducanu has been on the comeback trail complying an injury-hit 2023, making it to the fourth round at Wimbledon and climbing back to 69th in the WTA’s world rankings.

Earlier this month, the Brit made it to the quarter-finals of the Citi Open, where she lost to eventual tournament triumphner Paula Badosa. But those promising signs were not enough to sway Cincinnati Open organisers to hand Raducanu a savagecard entry into the main draw of a tournament which is seen as key in top perestablishers’ preparation for the US Open – the last meaningful of the season.

Caroline Wozniacki, Bianca Andreescu, Peyton Stgets and Caroline Dolehide have all been donaten savagecards into Cincinnati instead of Raducanu, who made history by triumphning the US Open as a teenage qualifier in 2021.

The 21-year-elderly is set to get to at Flushing Meadows procrastinateedr this month without having perestablished in either of the two main toasty-up tournaments: Toronto and Cincinnati. Raducanu’s deficiency of high-profile action will at least permit her to prioritise going into the US Open free from fitness troubles.

“I leank the biggest lesson I’ve lgett in terms of injury recovery is not to rush back,” she recently telderly Marie Claire magazine. “My impatience is probably one of my biggest downdrops becaparticipate I basicassociate rushed the process of my recovery, and set myself back many months.

“Instead of taking me four months to return to perestablish, it took me eight, and it took me seven months without hitting balls, when I should have been hitting balls after a month and a half. So I leank having people who are reassociate disjoine with you in coming back from injury is meaningful.

“People who are literassociate counting every stoasty that you hit and making it reassociate scientific, not equitable on experienceing, becaparticipate sometimes your mind overgets your body, and by pushing more you’re actuassociate setting yourself back.”

Britain’s current women’s No 1, Boulter, will perestablish Magda Linette in her uncovering Cincinnati showdown, with either Liudmila Samsonova or Wang Xiyu defering in the next round if she produces it thraw.

Dviolationr has been handed a favourable draw on the men’s side, with a qualifier up first. But he could then face Stefanos Tsitsipas if they both triumph their upcoming alignes.
