The echoes of her triumphant 2021 victory were met with concerns about her fitness after withdrawing from a second warm-up match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Raducanu's decision to pull out of the Kooyong Classic came hot on the heels of canceling a charity match against Naomi Osaka, who also withdrew as a precautionary measure. The British star, who had grappled with ankle and wrist injuries in the previous year, seemed to be battling a sore back during her recent appearance at the ASB Classic in Auckland.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 21-year-old's withdrawal from the Kooyong Classic, citing lingering soreness, raised eyebrows about her readiness for the upcoming Grand Slam.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite concerns, it's emphasized that this setback is not expected to impact Raducanu's participation in the Australian Open, marking her return to the Grand Slam scene after a hiatus due to surgeries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the backdrop of Raducanu's injury woes, other Britons were making strides in the Australian Open qualifying rounds. Harriet Dart, Francesca Jones, and Oliver Crawford celebrated victories, injecting a dose of British success amid the uncertainties surrounding the former US Open champion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/01\/emma-raducanu-withdrew-from-kooyong-classic-after-suffering-lingering-soreness.jpeg", "alt_img": "Emma Raducanu withdrew from Kooyong Classic after suffering \u2018lingering soreness\u2019", "alt_title": "'They haven't been able to keep up with questions I've asked', Raducanu reveals reason behind turnov", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Emma Raducanu Withdrew From Kooyong Classic After Suffering \u2018lingering Soreness\u2019 On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Emma Raducanu Withdrew From Kooyong Classic After Suffering \u2018lingering Soreness\u2019, Former US Open: Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu withdrew from the Kooyong Classic on Wednesday, less than 24 hours.", "seo_keywords": "Emma Raducanu, Kooyong Classic, Former US Open, Naomi Osaka, The British, ASB Classic, Grand Slam, Australian Open, Harriet Dart, Francesca Jones, Oliver Crawford, US Open", "tag": "", "tagging": "Emma Raducanu, Kooyong Classic, Former US Open, Naomi Osaka, The British, ASB Classic, Grand Slam, Australian Open, Harriet Dart, Francesca Jones, Oliver Crawford, US Open", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "emma-raducanu-withdrew-from-kooyong-classic-after-suffering-lingering-soreness", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "802", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-01-10 17:40:03", "updated": "2024-01-10 17:40:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Emma Raducanu, Kooyong Classic, Former US Open, Naomi Osaka, The British, ASB Classic, Grand Slam, Australian Open, Harriet Dart, Francesca Jones, Oliver Crawford, US Open", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-01-10 17:40:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "tennis", "cnmid": "849819", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/emma-raducanu-withdrew-from-kooyong-classic-after-suffering-lingering-soreness-12012" }
