Emma Raducanu Says She Is Feeling Better After Wuhan Retirement

She is entered in the Ningbo Open with a first-round matchup against wildcard Zhu Lin.

Overview

  • Raducanu retired from her Wuhan Open opener to Ann Li while trailing 6-1, 4-1 after struggling in severe heat.
  • Tournament medics conducted on-court checks of her pulse and blood pressure before play was halted.
  • She later posted that she had visited doctors in Wuhan and was "feeling better now."
  • Despite the setback, she has direct entry into this week’s WTA 500 in Ningbo and will face Zhu Lin in round one.
  • Wuhan enforced a heat rule and briefly suspended outdoor play, with player complaints across the China swing intensifying scrutiny of tour heat protocols.
