Briton has post-viral symptons after February illness
She is still without a permanent coach
Emma Raducanu has sustained another significant setback as she opted to withdraw from the Miami Open due to illness. Raducanu struggled with a virus throughout February, suffering poor opening round losses in Doha and Dubai. She is said to still have post-viral symptoms.
Raducanu had been due to compete in Miami as the 24th seed and she received a first-round bye, meaning she would not have played until Thursday or Friday. However, the 23-year-old decided not to wait until the last minute before making a decision on her participation.
Last year in Miami, she recorded one of her best results in recent years by reaching the quarter-finals of a WTA 1000 for the first time. Her performances sparked a solid run of results, culminating in Raducanu’s return to the top 30. However, the her progress has stalled badly in 2026.
