Raducanu Retires From Qatar Open First Round

Raducanu Forced to Retire in Doha Opener

Emma Raducanu was forced to retire from her first-round match at the Qatar Open against Camila Osorio, just two days after losing the final of the Transylvania Open.

The 23-year-old Brit won the first set 6-2, but was broken early in the decider before she called for the trainer and had her blood pressure checked.

After falling 2-0 behind in the third set, Raducanu walked to the net to retire from the match, handing Osorio the win.

Health Concerns Resurface

• Raducanu cited a chest infection as a factor in her loss to Sorana Cirstea in the Transylvania Open final.

• Similar scenes were witnessed in Wuhan last October, when she retired after blood pressure and temperature checks.

• This is her second retirement in four months due to health concerns during matches.

Match Recap:

• Set 1: Raducanu stormed ahead 6-2

• Set 2: Osorio came back 6-4, exploiting unforced errors

• Set 3: Raducanu broken early, then retired trailing 0-2

Turbulent Times for Raducanu

Raducanu’s career continues to be disrupted by injuries and inconsistency:

• This was her first final since her 2021 US Open win

• She has retired from multiple matches since late 2025

• Split with coach Francis Roig after Australian Open 2nd-round loss

• Roig was her 9th coach since 2021

What’s Next?

Raducanu’s next scheduled tournament is uncertain as her fitness and coaching situation remain unresolved.

Fans and analysts alike are concerned about her long-term trajectory and whether a more stable setup could revive her form.
