The 20-year-old had been dealing with
tendinitis in her wrist over the past several months. She cited
hand issues for the reason she pulled out of the Mutua Madrid
Open mere hours before her first-round matchup with Viktoriya
Tomova of Bulgaria.
"It's safe to say that the last 10 months have been difficult,"
Raducanu wrote in her note. "I tried my best to manage the pain
and play through it for most of this year and end of last year
by reducing practice load dramatically, missing weeks of
training as well as cutting last season short to try (to) heal
it. Unfortunately, it's not enough."
Raducanu sustained an ankle injury at the ASB Classic in
Auckland, Australia.
"It pains me that I will miss the summer events and I tried to
downplay the issues so I thank all my fans who continued to
support me when you did not know the facts," Raducanu wrote.
"Looking forward to seeing you all back out there."
The summer events will include the French Open and Wimbledon for
Raducanu, who won the 2021 U.S. Open.
