WTAMonday, 19 June 2023 at 20:30
Emma
Raducanu, Rafael Nadal, and Jack Draper are ruled out of Wimbledon, while Nick
Kyrgios remains uncertain.
With just
two weeks to go until the start of Wimbledon, several players have already
withdrawn from the WTA and ATP draws. The third Grand Slam of the year will once
again offer ranking points and a significant prize money for the participants.

The notable
absentee is Rafael Nadal, who hasn't played since the Australian Open and
announced that he won't be competing for the remainder of the 2023 season. The
22-time Grand Slam champion hinted at a possible retirement in 2024, making
this potentially his last appearance at the grass-court event.
2021 US
Open champion Emma Raducanu has also withdrawn from the tournament in her home
country. She underwent surgeries on her hands and ankles, which will keep her
out of action for several months. The exact date of her return has not been
confirmed yet. Similarly, Jack Draper, another British player, has decided to
take a break from the tour following his retirement from the French Open.
“It’s clear
my shoulder is going to need time and rehab to get back to where it needs to
be,” Draper wrote on Instagram.
“My team
and I have made the difficult decision to miss the grass-court season this
year. I guess in this sport there are so many ups and downs but this one is
tough to take. The only thing for sure is that I will keep persevering. Thank
you for all the support I get on here it means a lot,” he added.
Nick
Kyrgios is uncertain for Wimbledon as he hasn't fully recovered from his
injury. Although he is already competing in tournaments, his physical condition
remains questionable. Matteo Berrettini, who was a finalist in 2021, recently
withdrew from Queen's Club Championships, making his participation in Wimbledon
uncertain as well.

- This financial 'chump-change' means nothing to Saba. Her vacuity likely cannot fathom the "problem" with her unprofessional actions and reactions in general. The racquet smash is not my focus. My focus was/is on her distasteful, totally unprofessional, disgusting facial expressions and eye-rolls while standing behind Elena as she spoke on the podium. This woman needs a degree of therapy for her True Attitude(s). She is not fooling anyone within the WTA circles with her post-match winner "humor" and smiley behavior. Her True Self comes out when losing a set/match and as a runner-up on the podium.

- WTA has been unfairly ignoring Elena ever since Wimbledon. Arguably biased against her. Same with the most major sponsors whom normally pounce on the Wimbledon Winners for sponsorship. Didn't happen. Her unfair treatment was always in Lena's subconcious; how she was largely ignored after Wimbledon. Her sister helped her a lot during that period. Next came illnesses and minor injury. A lot of time was lost, and physical (mental?) issues were frequent, as she fought through the absurdiy and general nonsense brought-on by her coach/partner. He was a Loser then, he's a Loser still. Although he has lowered his attitude, volume, and non-stop yapping from the box since he wore the organizations out with his non-stop legal letters begging for mercy and ultimately fully reinstated. Rybakina deserves all the accolades others have enjoyed and more for her strength and will to succeed. Hope it continues.mandoist15-09-2026
- Ball bouncing is not that extreme but... ...they can eliminate the time-wasting walks back & forth to the Towel Bin between serves!!! That's just plain ridiculous to see some of them take minimum 30 seconds between every serve to shuffle over to their towel bin, dab their face, or wipe their handle. "Toweling-off" is an obvious time waster.mandoist15-09-2026
- Raducan'tdo and the media's love affair with her may be due to her looks. Since she does nothing for tennis, what else is going on with the 'love'?? She is best at maintaining a "presence" via anti-Social Media and maintaining her sponsorships.mandoist14-09-2026
