Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu has been forced to withdraw from the Mutua Madrid Open after suffering an injury.
The official Twitter account of the Mutua Madrid Open has revealed that the 20-year-old Brit has withdrawn following an injury in her right hand prior to her first round match.
Yesterday saw Raducanu in a bizarre pre-tournament press conference where she only uttered 58 words throughout the whole three minute seemingly ordeal with Simon Briggs and Mike Dickson, prominent tennis journalists.
She could've played Iga Swiatek in the second round in a bumper tie but now is back to the drawing board again with another injury hampering her progress.
It is a short turn-around to the Internazionali BNL d'Italia Rome followed by Roland Garros and it is unknown yet whether this will see her out of these two tournaments or is merely precaution with no signs of it in a thrashing against Jelena Ostapenko in Stuttgart.
"Emma Raducanu withdraws from the Mutua Madrid Open due to injury in her right hand. Get well soon!" The post reads.

Hello everyone, I am Kieran Wood, a young sports journalist based in Wales. My three main fields of interest are football, darts, and professional cycling. I am also into tennis if required. During the past few years though I have been creating content mainly for both CyclingUpToDate.com and Dartsnews.com. I now and then help out in tennisuptodate.com as well, especially at bigger tournaments, or when a tennis colleague falls ill.

- Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.mandoist31-10-2026
- Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.mandoist29-10-2026
