伦敦时间9月23日,英国网球选手艾玛·拉杜坎证实了她将缺席北京中国公开赛的消息。她在社交媒体平台上写道:“上周在首尔比赛时,我的脚踝扭伤了一些韧带,这需要更多的时间来恢复。”接着她表示,“因此我无法参加在北京的比赛,但我希望尽快重返赛场。”
现年21岁的拉杜坎,在韩国公开赛与头号种子达里娅·卡斯滕娜的四分之一决赛中提前退出了比赛。她在首局以1-6落败后,整个比赛中身体移动受阻,仅在自己发球时赢得4分。裁判在游戏间歇期间评估她时,她指向脚踝附近的区域。
这起伤病对于英国选手来说是一个打击:为了今年的亚洲硬地巡回赛,尤其是中国站的比赛,她特意调整了赛程安排——比赛地点包括首尔、北京、武汉和宁波,以及东京等地。拉杜坎曾公开表示,“我在这个地区表现出色。”强调了自己省略了草地赛事,并且没有参加美国公开赛前的热身赛(她因准备不足,在该公开赛中止步首轮)。
自2021年以资格赛选手身份赢得美国公开赛以来,拉杜坎一直在周期性地面对伤病问题。在去年夏季进行了双腕和脚踝手术后,她在温布尔登退出与安迪·穆雷的混合双打比赛,目的是为了保证她在此后的单打赛事中的身体状态不受影响。

原文摘要:
Emma Raducanu is out of the first 1000-level tournament of the WTA Asian swing with a ligament injury, having deliberately ‘stacked’ her schedule for this part of the season. On Monday September 23, Raducanu confirmed her absence from the China Open in Beijing with a statement on X. “ Hello, last week in Seoul I sprained some ligaments in my foot which unfortunately need some more time to heal,” said Raducanu. “It means I can’t play in Beijing but I hope to be back competing as soon as I can.” Hello, last week in Seoul i sprained some ligaments in my foot which unfortunately need some more time to heal😔. It means i can’t play in Beijing but I hope to be back competing as soon as i can 🤞❤️🩹 — Emma Raducanu (@EmmaRaducanu) Raducanu, 21, retired from her Korean Open quarter-final against top seed Daria Kasatkina having lost the first set 6-1. Her movement was visibly impeded throughout a set in which she won just four points on serve, and she pointed to the area around her Achilles while being assessed between games. The injury is a particular blow for the Brit, after she deliberately biased her tennis scheduling for the year towards the current hard-court swing in Asia, which takes in tournaments in Seoul, Beijing, Wuhan and Ningbo in China, and then Tokyo. “I thrive in Asia,” she told the , emphasizing that she had skipped grass-court tournaments, as well as warm-ups for the U.S. Open (at which she arrived under-cooked and lost in the first round) in order to be fit for this part of the year. Raducanu has struggled periodically with injury since winning the U.S. Open as a qualifier in 2021. She underwent double wrist and ankle surgery in summer 2023, and pulled out of a mixed doubles match with Andy Murray at Wimbledon in order to protect her fitness for the singles event there.
