Aug 3 (Reuters) - ⁠Former champion Emma Raducanu will ⁠miss the U.S. Open because ‌of the stress fracture in her leg that also forced her to ​pull out of Wimbledon, ⁠British media reported ⁠on Monday.

Raducanu, 23, is currently undergoing ⁠rehabilitation ‌for the injury, with the U.S. Open's ⁠main draw due to kick off ​in ‌four weeks.

Reuters has reached out ⁠to ​the Briton's representatives for comment.

Raducanu has struggled with injuries and illness ⁠throughout this year, with ​a right foot injury she suffered last year affecting her early ⁠season preparations and campaign.

An illness in February forced her out again for more than two ​months, and in ⁠June she picked up the ​stress fracture that forced ‌her out of ​Wimbledon.
