Emma Raducanu won't be able to play in the
ATX Open Austin due to a new injury, and fans reacted to the tennis player's situation.
Since her remarkable feat winning the 2021 US Open,
Raducanu hasn't quite convinced on the tour, and hasn't achieved the
consistency that was expected of her.
The talented 20-year-old player has only
played two tournaments this year, first the ASB Classic in Auckland, which she
withdrew from in the round of 16 due to injury. Then her last appearance was at
the Australian Open, where she lost in the second round against Coco Gauff.
This time, she withdrew from the ATX Open in Austin
due to tonsillitis, so once again, she won't be able to compete due to physical
condition issues. The tennis player released a statement that was shared on the
official tournament account.
“I’m sorry to have to withdraw from the ATX Open. I am
currently suffering from tonsillitis and am unable to compete this week. Thank
you to the tournament for the great hospitality here in Austin."
Several fans reacted with sadness to the absence of
the British player in the tournament, as she won't be able to compete before
her participation in Indian Wells, where she is the second alternate to enter
the main draw.
Here are some of the reactions from fans:
