Emma Raducanu and fellow British star pull out of Miami Open

  • British tennis stars Emma Raducanu and Sonay Kartal have both pulled out of the Miami Open.

  • It is the latest setback for Raducanu after a stop-start opening few months of the 2026 season.
  • Kartal reached the last 16 at Indian Wells but was forced to retire from her match against eventual finalist Elena Rybakina due to a back injury.
  • Kartal has not recovered in time from her injury and has now confirmed her withdrawal from the Miami Open.
