Emma Raducanu withdraws from Wimbledon due to stress fracture injury
Summary

Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from Wimbledon on the eve of her scheduled opening match against Croatia's Antonia Ruzic. The British No 1 confirmed the decision due to a stress fracture in her right lower leg, which developed after managing a previous injury. Raducanu had hoped to compete, as she practiced on Sunday but was ultimately advised against playing following a final scan. This season has been challenging for Raducanu, with her last significant performance being a runner-up finish at the Queen's Club Championships earlier this month.
