"But the current solutions aren’t very viable long-term": Raducanu can play short-term but seeking next steps regarding wrist injury after Miami exit

Emma Raducanu will take some time away from tennis to nurse her wrist to full health as the current situation is not a viable option long-term.

The Brit opted to play on the injury in Indian Wells and Miami but she can't keep playing on it because it will only make things worse. It's unclear what kind of step Raducanu will take when it comes to this in the near future but she admitted that she needs to review everything because this status quo is not a viable option long-term:

"It’s something I’ve been managing for some time. I just need to review after this tournament really and figure out what my next steps are. We (my team) have been managing it and keeping on top of it. I’m able to play in the short term. But the current solutions aren’t very viable long-term.”

On the Billie Jean King Cup withdrawal, Raducanu added that it's only her doing what's best for her body:
