Raducanu has not played since retiring midway through her quarter-final against Daria Kasatkina in the Korea Open last month and revealed she had sprained ligaments in her foot.
Hellooo, 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. I hope to be able to come back and play this tournament in the future! In the meantime, I am doing what I can…

“Whilst my foot is making good progress, I need a little more time before I am match fit,” she said in her post.
The world number 55 said she was “doing what I can” to be ready for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, with Anne Keothavong’s side taking on Germany on November 15.
Hong Kong is the fifth tournament the British number two has withdrawn from since her injury.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
