艾玛·拉杜卡努在韩国公开赛上对阵头号种子达莉娅·卡萨特金娜的四分之一决赛中，因脚踝扭伤而退出比赛，最终输掉了第一局，比分定格为6-1。整个比赛过程中，她的移动明显受阻，在一局比赛中仅赢下了四个发球点，并在球赛间歇时指向了脚跟周围的位置接受检查。这起伤病对于这位来自英国的球员来说是一大打击——她在韩国、北京、武汉和宁波等地以及中国进行了密集的亚洲赛事安排，意图在亚洲地区取得佳绩。
21岁的拉杜卡努在退出中国的比赛后公开表示：“各位好，上周在首尔，我的脚踝不幸扭伤了一些韧带，现在需要更多的时间来恢复。”她接着说，“这意味着我无法参加北京的比赛，但希望尽快回归竞技状态。”
此次伤病对于拉杜卡努来说是一个特别的挫折。此前，为了亚洲区的比赛，她有意调整了整个赛季的赛程安排，并且放弃了几场草地赛事以及美国网球公开赛前的热身赛——在那次公开赛中，她因为准备不足，在第一轮就被淘汰出局。
自2021年作为资格选手在美国公开赛夺冠以来，拉杜卡努就不断地受到伤病困扰。她在去年夏季接受了双腕和踝关节手术，并且为了保护参加温布尔登单打比赛的体能而退出了与安迪·穆雷共同参与的混双比赛。
这起伤病不仅影响了她的竞技状态，同时也显示出了她为追求亚洲赛场最佳成绩所付出的努力。然而，这也揭示出运动员面对的挑战——在保持高水平表现的同时，必须小心翼翼地管理自己的健康状况，避免因过度训练或比赛中受到意外伤害而不得不退出关键赛事的情况发生。
拉杜卡努对于伤病的出现表示了无奈，并且承诺会尽快恢复回来，继续她的职业网球旅程。

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.
