Emma Raducanu drops to world number 89 after US Open absence

Emma Raducanu has fallen to world number 89 in the latest WTA rankings after missing the US Open due to a leg injury. This injury, described as a stress fracture, also caused her to withdraw from Wimbledon earlier this year. As a result, Raducanu has lost 130 ranking points, dropping 19 places. She had previously lost her spot as the British number one to Katie Boulter. Raducanu plans to return to competition at the China Open starting on September 30 and must defend 136 ranking points this year to avoid dropping further. This season has been challenging for Raducanu, who has struggled to maintain consistent fitness despite reaching two WTA finals.
