outcome of her latest injury lay-off has been reflected in her rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Raducanu suffered a stress fracture in his foot during her run to the final of the grass court event in London, which forced her to pull out of Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p>She has since confirmed that her comeback to tennis will not come in time for her to compete at the US Open, in a year when the fifth anniversary of her famous win at Flushing Meadows will be marked.<\/p>\n<p>Her absence from the tour has seen a host of ranking points drop off her record and now it has been confirmed that she will lose her position as British No 1 at the end of this week.<\/p>\n<p>Katie Boulter has been struggling for wins over the last few months, but she will comfortably overtake Raducanu when the WTA Rankings are updated next Monday and will head into the US Open as British No 1.<\/p>\n<h2>More Tennis News<\/h2>\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><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-avoid-same-mistake-as-jack-draper-after-us-open-withdrawal\">Emma Raducanu has a clear decision she must make after US Open withdrawal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Raducanu\u2019s slide will continue when the 130 ranking points she collected from a run to the third round of last year\u2019s US Open drop off her rankings and with no evidence that she is close to a return to action, there is a possibility that she could slip out of the top 100 off the rankings by the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p>That would force Raducanu to play in lower level tournaments, play in qualifying events or seek wild cards if and when she mounts a comeback, with her career sliding backwards once again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

It just stinks because she is so good and it\u2019s just the stop and start of things,\u201d said Roddick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t get around a stress fracture, that\u2019s not a pain tolerance thing at all. It has to heal or you are going to cause extreme long-term damage. It just stinks. She could be such a bright spot for the tours and it just seems like there are speed bumps all the time, which is just unfortunate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was playing great at Queen\u2019s too, like she was going to blow the roof off of Wimbledon. She is so good and so injured all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s got to be kind of depressing for her too. I keep thinking we are going to get six months where we are going to be able to go and play and do all the things and we are just not able to get it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/andrew-castleominious-prediction-emma-raducanus-career\">Andrew Castle makes ominious prediction about Emma Raducanu\u2019s career following injury issues<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emma Raducanu\u2019s big rankings collapse is confirmed as she loses her one big title Kevin Palmer 17 Aug 2026 8:00 AM Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter.
