British tennis player Emma Raducanu has not been in action since the 2026 Queen's Club Championships that took place in June, and four months on the sidelines have taken a significant toll on the Brit's ranking, with the 23-year-old falling outside the world's top 100 for the first time in more than two years.

Raducanu has reached three WTA singles finals in her career, making this season's run all the more remarkable. After failing to make another final in the years following her stunning 2021 US Open triumph, she reached two championship matches despite appearing in only 10 tournaments.

Raducanu, as things stand, is absent from the entry lists for the remaining six events of the 2026 season. A wildcard remains an option, but a prolonged absence could bring another avenue into play. Should she stay off tour until January, she may qualify for a protected ranking, which is available to players sidelined by injury for at least six months.

What began as a viral illness in Romania quickly snowballed into another frustrating stretch for Raducanu. Early defeats in Doha and Dubai were followed by an appearance at Indian Wells, but she was then forced to pull out of four consecutive tournaments.

The latest stress fracture in her right leg only reinforces an unfortunate reality: Raducanu has not competed since the grass court season, and this injury forced her to withdraw from both Wimbledon and the US Open.

  • May 2026 — Raducanu crashed out of the French Open first round to Solana Sierra.
  • June 2026 — She reached the Queen's Club final, losing to Donna Vekic in her last match.
  • June 2026 — A scan revealed a right leg stress fracture, forcing her Wimbledon withdrawal.
  • August 2026 — Raducanu pulled out of the US Open, still sidelined by the fracture.
  • August 2026 — Andy Roddick warned on his podcast she may miss the rest of 2026.

Extended Absence Predicted For Emma Raducanu

Earlier this summer, tennis great Andy Roddick suggested fans may need to prepare for a lengthy absence from the former Grand Slam winner.

"We might not even see her for the rest of this year," Roddick said on his Served podcast in August. "It just stinks because she is so good, and it's just the stop and start of things.

"You can't get around a stress fracture; that's not a pain tolerance thing at all. It has to heal, or you are going to cause extreme long-term damage. It just stinks.

"She could be such a bright spot for the tours, and it just seems like there are speed bumps all the time, which is just unfortunate. It sucks. I hope she gets better."
