British tennis star Emma Raducanu is facing concerns over her future in the sport as recurring injuries continue to disrupt her career. A stress fracture in her right lower leg has forced her to miss both Wimbledon and the 2026 US Open, adding to a mounting list of physical setbacks since her historic 2021 US Open triumph.
Former British No. 1 Andrew Castle has expressed concern that Raducanu could abruptly decide to walk away from tennis. While noting he has no direct inside information from her team, Castle suggested it would not be surprising if she grew weary of the relentless physical battles and external pressures.
Castle emphasized that Raducanu owes nothing to fans, sponsors, or critics, and any future decisions rest entirely with her and her family. Despite the warning, Castle remains hopeful that she can overcome her fitness struggles and fulfill her immense potential if granted a prolonged injury-free period.
