Emma Raducanu withdraws from Wimbledon due to leg injury
Summary

Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from Wimbledon after developing a stress fracture in her right leg, confirmed on Sunday night. She had hoped to compete despite feeling the injury during the recent Queen's Club tournament, where she reached the final but lost to Donna Vekic. The withdrawal leaves the tournament without its most prominent British player. Experts note that managing an ongoing injury is challenging, especially in such a demanding sport. Raducanu was set to face Antonia Ruzic on No 1 Court on Monday.
