Serena Williams and Emma Raducanu are not going to compete in singles in Eastbourne in the upcoming week. Serena has just announced her comeback to competitions and she will indeed play in Eastbourne but only in doubles with Ons Jabeur.
Emma Raducanu has been struggling with an abdominal strain that made her retire in the first round in Nottingham. Unfortunately, the 2021 US Open champion has not recovered yet, and therefore, she will skip Eastbourne. Raducanu will play in Wimbledon after competing only for 35 minutes on grass this season.
