Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from another tournament due to a foot injury but hopes to be fit to feature in November'sBillie Jean King Cup.
Raducanu has not played since retiring midway through her quarter-final against Daria Kasatkina in the Korea Open last month, which was her first event back since suffering a first-round exit at the US Open in August.
The Briton revealed she had sprained ligaments in her foot and was ruled out of the WTA 1000s at the China Open in Beijing and Dongfeng Voyah Wuhan Open later that month, before also withdrawing from the Ningbo Open as well as missing this week's Guangzhou Open.

In a statement on X, Raducanu said: "I'm sorry to say that I will not be able to play in Hong Kong next week. Whilst my foot is making good progress, I need a little more time before I am match fit.

Injuries have dogged Raducanu since her shock triumph at the US Open three years ago and she spent much of 2023 recovering from surgery to her wrists and ankle.
The world No 55 enjoyed a strong summer when she made her first semi-final of the year in Nottingham, earned a win over Jessica Pegula in Eastbourne and reached the last 16 of Wimbledon, but has played just three events since that defeat to Lulu Sun.
She made the quarter-finals in Washington before skipping back-to-back WTA 1000s in Toronto and Cincinnati ahead of her shock US Open loss to Sofia Kenin, with Raducanu winning her first two Korea Open matches before withdrawing after the first set against Kasatkina.
