Emma Raducanu has pulled out from a December exhibition in China as she keeps on recovering from a surgery.
The 21 year-old Briton, has not played since April 2023 in the wake of going through the surgery. As a result, Raducanu has also dropped to the 289th position in the latest rankings.
Having at first expected to get back to the WTA Tour in the fall, Raducanu then put her focus on the exhibition Macau Tennis Masters event from December 2-3.
Be that as it may, organizers have affirmed their line-up has changed due to injury, with Raducanu no longer among the players on show.
Raducanu will actually want to involve a protected positioning of 103 one year from now as she has been down and out for over a half year and that could procure her a spot in the main draw of the Australian Open in January.
The 2021 US Open champion has not gone past the second round of a Grand Slam since her triumph at Flushing Meadows.

But she has stepped up her training in recent weeks at the National Tennis Centre in London both in the gym and on court, and spoke last month of her enthusiasm for returning to the circuit.
“I think the biggest thing from the last few months was how much I missed the sport,” she told BBC Radio 4.
“I think that was the standout thing – how much I missed training, how much I missed my body hurting and feeling tired and dragging yourself through certain exercises when you don’t feel like it.”
Raducanu stays without a trainer having parted from Sebastian Sachs toward the start of June and is as of now working with Lawn Tennis Association staff.
Her last match was a straight-sets rout to Jelena Ostapenko at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart in April.
