Emma Raducanu has been forced to withdraw from Wimbledon due to a stress fracture in her foot.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old confirmed the withdrawal on Sunday evening, just hours before she was due to get her campaign underway.<\/p>\n

Raducanu was set to play Antonia Ruzic at 1pm on Monday and was hopeful that she was able to manage the nagging injury through the match.<\/p>\n

However, the problem has got worse and she has little choice but to pull out of her home Grand Slam.<\/p>\n

She wrote on Instagram on Sunday: ‘Hi everyone, I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying this, but sadly I\u2019ve had to withdraw from this year\u2019s Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019ve done everything possible to try to get to the start line tomorrow but after a final scan tonight, the niggle I\u2019ve been managing has developed into a stress fracture.<\/p>\n

‘And I\u2019ve been medically advised to stop pushing through.<\/p>\n

‘Playing at Wimbledon, in front of a home crowd, means everything to me, so this is really difficult to process.<\/p>\n

‘I want to thank you all for your support and encouragement. Especially at a time like this, it is invaluable. I look forward to seeing you when I\u2019m back.’<\/p>\n

It was clearly a very late call as it was only earlier on Sunday that Raducanu had said she was planning to play her opening match.<\/p>\n

That came after a practice session, which seemed to have gone well enough to be encouraging for her.<\/p>\n

‘I’m going to do everything with my team in terms of treatment,’ she said on Sunday. ‘The plan right now is to play.’<\/p>\n

She told a press conference: ‘I’ve been managing it. Queen’s, maybe, was a lot of load for me. Five matches after having not competed for a while, it was just a lot.<\/p>\n

‘But I’m just managing it with my team as best as I possibly can, exhausting all options and doing what we can.’<\/p>\n
