A stress fracture in her right leg, sustained during the grass-court season, has kept the British No. 1 sidelined for a third consecutive Grand Slam and forced her to pull out of Wimbledon as well.\n\nHer medical team advised the withdrawal. Raducanu has said she is still not fully fit and not yet ready to return to tournament play.\n\nShe first underwent surgery for a stress fracture in September 2023. The injury recurred, delaying her return until the 2024 Australian Open, which she missed entirely. Her comeback match came at the Qatar Open in February, where she lost in straight sets to Yulia Putintseva in just under an hour. That was her only appearance of 2024. The French Open, Wimbledon, and now the US Open have passed without her.\n\n### Match Count and Ranking Impact\n\nAt 22, Raducanu has played fewer than 20 WTA tour-level matches across the last two and a half seasons. She has not advanced past the second round of any Grand Slam since winning Wimbledon in 2022.\n\nHer world ranking sits outside the top 100. The points from her 2022 title have expired, and she is rebuilding without the safety net of defended ranking points.\n\n### No Target Tournament Identified\n\nThere are no immediate plans for her comeback, and no specific tournament has been identified as a target. The priority is complete recovery, not competition. The US Open field is being assembled without her. The September hard-court swing will proceed in her absence.\n\n> *Updated: August 3, 2026 - Confirmed stress fracture is in Raducanu's right leg; she also missed Wimbledon due to the same injury.*","\u002Farticles\u002Femma-raducanu-missus-us-open-stress-fracture-recovery",[98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,85],"analysis","basketball","cricket","f1","football","general","golf","mma","long-reads",[108,121,129],{"id":109,"stem":109,"path":110,"title":111,"category":85,"badge":94,"badgeType":112,"author":113,"authorRole":114,"authorInitials":115,"date":116,"readTime":117,"image":118,"imageAlt":111,"tags":119,"excerpt":120},"bouzkova-conquers-nottingham-grass-title-injury","\u002Farticles\u002Fbouzkova-conquers-nottingham-grass-title-injury","Bouzkova's Grit Shines Through Pain to Claim Nottingham Crown","category","Carlos Herrera","SportPulse Contributor","CH","2026-06-28 01:36:50","6 min read","https:\u002F\u002Fichef.bbci.co.uk\u002Face\u002Fstandard\u002F976\u002Fcpsprodpb\u002F31d1\u002Flive\u002F6a57c8b0-6d82-11f1-a2ba-775ae811ce10.jpg","WTA, Nottingham Open, Wimbledon, Tennis","Marie Bouzkova fought through an ankle injury to capture her first grass-court title at the Nottingham Open.",{"id":122,"stem":122,"path":123,"title":124,"category":85,"badge":86,"badgeType":112,"author":113,"authorRole":114,"authorInitials":115,"date":125,"readTime":117,"image":126,"imageAlt":124,"tags":127,"excerpt":128},"sinner-conquers-wimbledon-zverev-rises","\u002Farticles\u002Fsinner-conquers-wimbledon-zverev-rises","Sinner Conquers Wimbledon, But Zverev Looms Over His Throne","2026-07-12 20:02:23","https:\u002F\u002Fichef.bbci.co.uk\u002Face\u002Fstandard\u002F976\u002Fcpsprodpb\u002Ff8a8\u002Flive\u002F3606e850-7e28-11f1-b976-0b9c15b0ccfc.jpg","Wimbledon, Grand Slams, ATP","Jannik Sinner's Wimbledon triumph confirms his dominance, yet Alexander Zverev's four-set fight signals an imminent threat to the world number one.",{"id":130,"stem":130,"path":131,"title":132,"category":85,"badge":133,"badgeType":112,"author":134,"authorRole":135,"authorInitials":136,"date":137,"readTime":117,"image":138,"imageAlt":132,"tags":139,"excerpt":140},"draper-returns-from-knee-injury-to-beat-giron-at-eastbourne","\u002Farticles\u002Fdraper-returns-from-knee-injury-to-beat-giron-at-eastbourne","Draper Battles Past Giron In Injury Comeback At Eastbourne","ATP","Sarah Martinez","Transfer Correspondent","SM","2026-06-24 21:03:05","https:\u002F\u002Fichef.bbci.co.uk\u002Face\u002Fstandard\u002F976\u002Fcpsprodpb\u002Ff7c3\u002Flive\u002F3fc0a740-6e52-11f1-b1db-af71d47507d6.jpg","ATP, Eastbourne International, Wimbledon","Jack Draper shook off two months of knee misery to grind down Marcos Giron and kickstart his grass-court season."]
