Emma Raducanu Withdraws Berlin Open Ahead Wimbledon 2025

Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the Berlin Open due to a recurring back injury that has been affecting her since early 2025, including during recent tournaments such as the French Open and Queen's Club. This withdrawal significantly diminishes her chances of being seeded at Wimbledon, as she currently ranks No. 37 and needed strong performances in Berlin or Queen's Club to break into the top 32. Raducanu has expressed that while the injury is not serious, it requires careful management and rest to avoid further damage. Despite missing Berlin, she remains hopeful about competing at the Eastbourne Open shortly before Wimbledon, depending on her recovery. Not being seeded at Wimbledon means Raducanu could face top players early in the tournament, removing the usual protection seeded players have in the draw. She has shifted her focus from securing a seed to improving her game and managing her fitness for the Grand Slam event.
