Overview
- Event promoters confirmed Jessica Pegula will replace Raducanu for exhibitions in Newark and Miami on December 7–8.
- Raducanu is dealing with light bone bruising in her right foot, but she can practice and is expected to proceed to Spain for training.
- Her pre-season will be overseen by coach Francisco Roig, and she has added physiotherapist Emma Stewart to her team.
- Reports suggest skipping the exhibitions will forgo substantial appearance fees, with estimates pointing to a six-figure loss.
- She is slated to represent Great Britain at the United Cup in early January and, as world No. 29, is on course for an Australian Open seeding.
