Highlights as Emma Raducanu was forced to retire from her match against Daria Kasatkina at the Korea Open due to a foot injury

That would represent Raducanu’s final action before the season-ending Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Malaga, with Great Britain taking on Germany on November 15 in the first round.

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.

She has shown flashes of her brilliant best this year but has still struggled with niggles and a lack of action.

Raducanu reached the second round of the Australian Open before skipping the French Open, and only played in one tournament between an impressive Wimbledon and a return to Flushing Meadows.

The Briton is currently ranked 57 in the world.
