Emma Raducanu pulls out of GB squad to ‘look after body’ | UK News
Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from Great Britain’s squad for the Billie Jean King (BJK) Cup qualifiers in order to “look after her body”.
The move comes after the British number two reached the quarter-finals of the Miami Open, before losing to eventual runner-up, American Jessica Pegula.
Her team said pulling out was a “difficult decision” to make, but that the 22-year-old has been advised to “look after her body” and will instead undertake a two to three-week training camp.
Raducanu was also due to join the likes of Elina Svitolina and Sofia Kenin for the clay-court WTA 250 in Rouen on 14 April, but after a busy three months, she will step away from WTA tournaments.
It is unclear when she intends to return to the court.
