Emma Raducanu is only at the start of her promising career on the WTA Tour, but frustrating injuries continue to stifle her development. Express Sport looks back at the seven times the 20-year-old Brit suffered injury woes since bursting onto the scene at Wimbledon 2021.
Wimbledon 2021
Raducanu made an initial impact on the tour at Wimbledon 2021, winning over the nation's hearts as she reached the fourth round on her Grand Slam debut.
However, the then-teenager suffered from breathing difficulties in her clash with Ajla Tomljanovic, forcing her to withdraw at 4-6 0-3.
She didn't dwell on that outcome for too long, though, achieving an incredible Grand Slam triumph at the next time of asking, winning the US Open.

Abierto Zapopan 2022
The first of four retirements in 2022 came at February's Abierto Zapopan, abandoning her first-round affair with Daria Saville.
Raducanu won the opening set 7-5 before coming up short 6-7 in the second as a cramp in her leg and fatigue started to kick in.
After three-and-a-half hours of play with the score at 3-4 in the deciding set, Raducanu forfeited and was also absent from the Monterrey Open as a precaution.

Italian Open 2022
Three months later, Raducanu couldn't put up much of a fight in her Italian Open first-round clash with Bianca Andreescu.
She reportedly complained about a back injury in the build-up to the match, which seemed to take its toll as she fell 2-6 1-2 down before withdrawing.
Raducanu regained her fitness for the French Open later in May but crashed out to unseeded Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the second round.
Nottingham Open 2022
The Brit couldn't replicate her 2021 success at Wimbledon the following year, losing to Caroline Garcia in the second round.
And that may have partly been down to her disrupted preparation after retiring from her first match at the Nottingham Open.
Raducanu made a name for herself in Nottingham ahead of that memorable run in SW19 a year prior, but an injury handed Viktorija Golubic a win in the first set.
Korea Open 2022
After months of injury woes and below-par tournament performances, Raducanu looked back to her best in the Korea Open in September 2022.
She battled her way into the semi-finals, beating third seed Magna Linette along the way, but familiar issues caught up with him again.
After taking the first set 6-4 against Jelena Ostapenko, Raducanu lost the second 3-6 and was 0-3 down in the third before retiring through discomfort in her left glute.
Transylvania Open 2022
The Transylvania Open holds a special place in Raducanu's heart, given her father is Romanian, making it to the quarter-finals in 2021.
However, she had to withdraw from the 2022 edition before it had even begun due to a wrist injury.
Her decision to miss the event ended her season, also not participating in the Billie Jean King Cup.
ASB Classic 2023
Raducanu's latest injury came in January, marking the start of her 2023 campaign in the worst way possible.
After thrashing Viktoria Kuzmova 6-0 in the first set of their ASB Classic match, the Slovak won the second 5-7, and it soon went from bad to worse.
Raducanu rolled her ankle, leaving her in tears as she left the court after being forced to retire from another tournament.
