Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the Melbourne Summer Set saying: “The timing to compete in the first Melbourne event this week is too soon for me, having just returned from isolation.” Look forward to seeing you compete later this month @EmmaRaducanu 💙
"It's too soon for me" says Raducanu as she pulls out of Melbourne I event

Emma Raducanu has pulled out of the Melbourne I tennis event announcing it comes too soon for her after she had a bout with COVID-19.
The Australian Open prep event was set to feature Raducanu but the Brit just recently came out of isolation after testing positive for COVID-19. The 19-year-old was scheduled to headline one of the two women’s WTA 250 warmup tournaments taking place at Melbourne Park – dubbed the “Melbourne Summer Set” – from 4-9 January.
However in a statemenet posted by the event Raducanu was quoted:
“The timing to compete in the first Melbourne event this week is too soon for me, having just returned from isolation."
It's an understandable decision by Raducanu whose main focus will be the Australian Open. It's not known whether Raducanu had any symptoms in the past week but she is back to practicing already so her condition seems to be fine.
