Had she played in the tournament, she would have met Olympic gold medalist Qinwen Zheng in the second round. Raducanu, after the heartbreaking exit from the US Open, wanted to play as much as possible before the end of this season as she admitted that less practice might have been the reason behind her first-round elimination at Flushing Meadows.
