Competing for the first time since the Australian Open, Emma Raducanu retired with a hip injury against Daria Saville in the opening round of the Abierto Akron Zapopan, the longest match on the WTA Tour so far in the 2022 season.
Playing for the first time since discomforting blisters on her racquet hand left her hampered in a three-set defeat to Danka Kovinic in the second round of the Australian Open, Raducanu retired due to a hip injury in Guadalajara, with her upper left thigh heavily taped, shortly after taking a medical timeout.
