In a shocking move, Emma Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion, has decided to take a break from professional tennis due to a serious injury. The British tennis star, who has been battling various injuries over the past year, made the decision after consulting with her medical team, citing the need to prioritize her long-term health and recovery.
Raducanu, who burst into the tennis scene with her historic US Open victory at just 18, has struggled to maintain consistent form and fitness since then. She has faced multiple setbacks with injuries to her wrists, back, and other areas, leading to her decision to step back from the sport for an indefinite period.
“I want to be in the best physical and mental shape for my future on the tour, and sometimes that means taking a step back,” Raducanu said in an official statement. “It’s a tough decision, but after consulting with my team, I feel this is the right thing to do. I want to come back stronger and more focused.”
This decision has left many fans and pundits disappointed, as Raducanu’s potential on the court remains undeniable. However, her choice to focus on recovery rather than push through pain is seen as a mature and sensible one, with many hoping that this break will allow her to return with renewed strength.
Raducanu’s withdrawal from competition comes as a blow to British tennis, but it is hoped that this time away will allow her to fully recover and come back to her best. Fans around the world are now waiting eagerly for her return, as the 21-year-old continues her journey to achieve greatness in the sport.
As of now, there is no set timeline for her return, but Raducanu’s priority remains her health, and she will continue to work closely with her medical team during this break.
