- Former US Open champion was due to play exhibition in Macau
- Raducanu remains hopeful of being fit for new season in January
Emma Raducanu’s return to professional tennis has been delayed until the new year after she withdrew from an exhibition tournament in Macau, which begins on 2 December.
Raducanu has not competed since undergoing surgeries on both hands and her ankle in April. After opting to shut down her season, Raducanu had hoped to make a low-stakes return in Asia a month before the 2024 season begins in January. On Monday, Raducanu’s 21st birthday, the organisers revealed she would not feature at the Macau Tennis Masters event.
