months.<\/p>\n<p>The star\u2019s season was disrupted early on due to a foot injury and she missed further tournaments due to a viral illness throughout the Sunshine Double and the start of the clay court swing.<\/p>\n<p>Her season looked to be turning around on the grass as she romped to the final of Queen\u2019s, but another injury reared its ugly head for the British star.<\/p>\n<p>She suffered a stress fracture at the event, which caused her to miss Wimbledon, and it will likely keep her out of the entirety of the North American hardcourt swing.<\/p>\n<p>Raducanu\u2019s tussles with injuries has been even more frustrating due to her performances on the court when she has been allowed to play.<\/p>\n<p>The British star has reached two WTA Tour finals despite her injury issues, so she\u2019s proved she can still cut it with the very best in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>However, Andrew Castle has now predicted the star to cut her career short if she continues to suffer from the sort of injuries impacting her in 2026.<\/p>\n<h2>More Emma Raducanu news<\/h2>\n<p><a

from tennis over \u2018relentless\u2019 schedule<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-rankings-slide-british-no1\">Emma Raducanu\u2019s rankings slide is underway and it is about to get a lot worse<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen she moves, when she plays, you can still see a really, truly, brilliant player there, so with a bit of luck, she will be back, and she wants to be back, because after a while, I would imagine it\u2019s difficult to stay motivated,\u201d he said in an interview with <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/tennis\/andrew-castle-i-have-four-tv-offers-on-the-table-after-bbc-exit\/\" target=\"_blank\">Betway<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, put it this way. I mean, I\u2019ve got no access to that camp whatsoever, but it wouldn\u2019t surprise me if one day out of the blue, she just said, you know, \u2018I\u2019ve had enough of all this\u2019. I mean, don\u2019t we all say that?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe doesn\u2019t have an obligation to anybody but herself and her family. That\u2019s it. There is nothing else. All the sponsors and everybody else, they\u2019re not the ones whose career this is. It\u2019s her choice, but I mean, I hope she carries on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite his worrying prediction, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/andrew-castle\">Castle<\/a> would like nothing more than to see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/emma-raducanu\">Raducanu<\/a> back to her very best on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/WTA-Tour\">WTA Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would love to see her have three or four years of freedom away from injury, and just to play tennis. \u201cI mean, it would have been great if right at the beginning, she could have literally just picked up a racket and just gone and played a few Challengers, or whatever you want.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would have been great to have seen that, because she just went from sort of child to champion. I wouldn\u2019t know, but I\u2019ve seen it a million times in a lot of different scenarios, not just sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is hard to cope with, let alone the injuries. That level of attention, and of course, well, people would say, well, \u2018She\u2019s richly rewarded\u2019, which she is. She\u2019ll never have money worries again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that\u2019s a good thing, but it\u2019s not all about that. I mean, beyond that, it\u2019s now for her, about being as good as she can be.With the injuries that she\u2019s had, can she now achieve that potential, which would be another Grand Slam for me still? We\u2019ve all had our doubts about it, but what we say is unimportant. I hope she\u2019s all right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear when Raducanu will return to the WTA Tour, but she could be back for the Asian swing following the culmination of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/us-open\">US Open<\/a> in September.<\/p>\n<p>The star has Asian heritage and her main sponsor, Uniqlo, are based in Japan, so they will very likely want to see her play events in the country.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Castle makes ominious prediction about Emma Raducanu\u2019s career following injury issues Liam McMillen 15 Aug 2026 11:00 AM Emma Raducanu during practice Emma Raducanu\u2019s season has gone from bad to worse throughout 2026, with the British star hitting a particular low over the summer months.
