Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from this week’s Miami Open as she continues her recovery from a recent illness.<\/b><\/p>\n

The British number one became unwell while playing in the Middle East last month, and is still suffering with post-viral symptoms.<\/p>\n

Raducanu decided to play last week’s event in Indian Wells, and reached the third round before losing in just 52 minutes to the world number six Amanda Anisimova.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old has 215 ranking points to defend from reaching the quarter-finals in Miami last year, but has decided it would be best to take a break to recover fully.<\/p>\n

Raducanu beat both Anisimova and the then top 10 player Emma Navarro before losing to Jessica Pegula in three sets in last year’s quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

This year she had a first-round bye, and could have played British childhood rival Sonay Kartal in the second round.<\/p>\n

Raducanu had already decided not to play in Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup tie in Melbourne next month, but is currently scheduled to return to the tour in three weeks’ time.<\/p>\n

She has entered the WTA event in Linz, which would be her first clay-court tournament of the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
