Emma Raducanu withdrew from her initial match against Camila Osorio at the Qatar Open, just two days following her defeat in the Transylvania Open final.
The top-ranked British player requested medical attention from the trainer to check her blood pressure after dropping her serve at the commencement of the third set; subsequently, with the score at 2-0 in the deciding set in favor of Colombia’s Osorio, she abandoned the contest.
Raducanu secured the opening set with a score of 6-2, but then lost the subsequent set 6-4.
On Saturday, the player, aged 23, competed in her initial final since her 2021 US Open success, yet was overcome in just over sixty minutes by Sorana Cirstea during the Transylvania Open.
During that particular match, Raducanu also underwent a blood pressure check, subsequently disclosing that her physical condition was impacted as she was “contending with a minor chest infection”.
Raducanu commenced her encounter with Osorio powerfully, establishing a 3-0 advantage before ultimately clinching the initial set 6-2.
Osorio displayed indications of initiating a recovery towards the end of the first set, and her resurgence persisted into the second when she achieved her first break of serve in the contest, moving ahead 3-2.
Osorio compelled Raducanu to commit errors, and she concluded the second set 6-4 after the British player hit a forehand shot out of bounds.
Having defended against two break opportunities at the commencement of the final set, Raducanu’s serve was broken once more when she hesitantly failed to pursue a drop shot, prompting her to summon the trainer.
Raducanu briefly resumed play; however, following Osorio’s confirmation of her service break, the British competitor approached the net to notify the official of her withdrawal from the contest.
Raducanu has been beleaguered by physical ailments and has found it challenging to maintain a consistent performance level on the WTA Tour subsequent to her monumental win at the US Open.
During October, Raducanu withdrew in the opening round of the Wuhan Open after a medical professional checked her blood pressure and body temperature.
In January, she parted ways with her most recent coach, Francis Roig, following her elimination in the second round of the Australian Open.
Roig, a Spanish national, with whom she had been collaborating since the summer of 2025, represented the ninth individual to serve as Raducanu’s coach since the year 2021.
