Tennis Star Raducanu Bounces Back After Wuhan Withdrawal

As of October 14th, 2025, British tennis star Emma Raducanu is preparing to take part in this week's Ningbo Open in China, despite being forced to retire from the Wuhan Open last week due to the searing heat.

Raducanu, who is currently ranked 29th on the WTA Tour, had to withdraw from her first-round match against Ann Li in Wuhan after suffering from dizziness and low blood pressure in the extreme conditions. Temperatures in Wuhan had soared to around 36 degrees Celsius, with humidity levels reaching nearly 60%.

However, Raducanu has now provided a reassuring health update, suggesting she has been for regular check-ups and is feeling better. The 22-year-old's strong performance this season has been rewarded with a rise in the rankings, meaning she will be seeded at the upcoming Australian Open in January 2026.
