Emma Raducanu officially didn’t make the Cincinnati main draw and that means she has missed the last two WTA 1000 tournaments and has been left with limited preparation and options ahead of the US Open.
After concluding her solid Wimbledon run, Raducanu started her summer on hard courts early in Washington where she made it past her opening two matches before losing a three-setter in the quarterfinal to Paula Badosa.
But then, the Toronto organizers overlooked Raducanu in the wildcard selection. And since the 2021 US Open champion didn’t take part in the Toronto qualifying, she was automatically out of the opening WTA 1000 event of this summer.
The Cincinnati organizers went the same route as the Toronto officials as Raducanu also didn’t get a main draw wildcard there either – Cincinnati announced Caroline Wozniacki, Bianca Andreescu, Peyton Stearns and Caroline Dolehide.

Raducanu didn’t need this scenario after the Olympic withdrawal drama
After deciding to skip the Paris Olympics because she didn’t want to play on clay after Wimbledon and risk injuries, Raducanu several times highlighted that it was important for her to focus on the hard-court swing.
“Yeah, I would say for me, staying on one surface is important. The change of surface isn’t the best thing for me right now. In the future, maybe it would have been. At this moment in time, I think switching to clay straight after grass, it’s such a big contrast, then back onto the hard courts, I didn’t want to risk anything,” Raducanu said in Washington.
“For me this option was just a lot better. Of course, there are elements of FOMO, missing out. Watching the Olympic ceremony, everybody in the team kits, a part of you obviously wants to be there and representing your country. I think when I think big picture, long-term, it’s the right call
