 ⁠Former U.S. Open champion Emma ​Raducanu ​has pulled out of the Miami Open as she continues her recovery from ⁠illness, the WTA said ⁠on Monday.
British number one Raducanu, who enjoyed a run ‌to the quarter-finals ​in ⁠Florida last year, ​had been given ‌a bye into the ​second round.
The 23-year-old has struggled with form and fitness issues since her only Grand ‌Slam triumph as ​a teenager at New ​York ‌in 2021 ⁠and has worked with a string of ​different coaches with ⁠little success.
The ​Miami Open main draw begins on Tuesday and runs until ​March 29.
