Emma Raducanu suffered another injury setback after withdrawing from the Miami Open ahead of her first-round match.
The 21-year-old, who received a wild card, was scheduled to face China’s Wang Xiyu on Tuesday but withdrew from the tournament due to reports of a lower back injury.
It’s another blow for Raducanu in her attempts to establish herself as a consistent presence on the WTA Tour.
The former US Open champion spent the second half of last year recovering from ankle and wrist surgery that sidelined her starting in May, the last of a long string of injury problems since winning at Flushing Meadows in 2021.
She made her comeback earlier this year and showed promising signs by reaching the third round of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells before losing to Aryna Sabalenka.

It’s the latest in a long string of injury problems since winning at Flushing Meadows in 2021.
Raducanu’s withdrawal in Miami casts doubt on his availability for Great Britain’s match against France in the Billie Jean King Cup on April 12-13.
