Tennis fans dub Raducanu as having ‘worst luck in the world’ after ATX Open Austin withdrawal

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.
