British tennis star Emma Raducanu has delayed her return to competitive action as she is withdrawing from the ATX Open in Austin due to illness. Raducanu, 20, was scheduled to play her first tournament since the Australian Open at a WTA 250 event in Austin.
Unfortunately, Raducanu is currently dealing with tonsilitis and she won’t be highlighting the inaugural ATX Open. In her message, Raducanu expressed her gratitude to the Austin organizers for doing their best to give her a warm welcome to the tournament.
“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,” Raducanu said in a statement.
