A wrist issue troubling the teenager in recent weeks takes the number of matches or tournaments curtailed by fitness worries to 12 in her short career. Since being forced off with a glute problem in the semi-finals of the Korean Open last month, she had withdrawn from the Transylvania Open and Guadalajara Open with the wrist problem. She was named on Oct 10 in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals squad for Glasgow, but on Friday announced doctors have now ruled her out. 'It's disappointing to get the news from the doctors that I won't be ready in time, particularly with it being on home soil," she said in a statement. "I tried to do everything possible to get it ready in time, since my last tournament I've been working every day on physical training and rehab. I've got confidence in my teammates and look forward to playing next year.' The 2021 US Open champion had already ended her WTA Tour season because of the problem, but had been hoping she would have enough time to recover for the 12-country event, which begins on November 8 at the Emirates Arena. Raducanu made her debut in the tournament in April's qualifier against the Czech Republic, beating Tereza Martincova but losing heavily to Marketa Vondrousova amid more struggles with blisters. Her withdrawal was confirmed after a week in which former coach, Dmitry Tursunov, had described "red flags" in her camp which pushed him to end their partnership. Earlier this month, in her latest coaching shake-up, the former US Open champion announced Tursunov's exit. They had been working together for just two and a half months.){kind=link}
