“I’m sorry to have to withdraw from the ATX Open,” Raducanu said.
I am currently suffering from tonsillitis and am unable to compete this week. Thank you to the tournament for the great hospitality here in Austin.”
The 2021 US Open champion had committed to play in the inaugural WTA Tour Tournament, which starts on Monday at the Westwood Country Club.
The event, which will be the first tournament held in the United States during the WTA’s 50th anniversary season, will also feature a 16-team doubles field.
Two sessions – one during the day and one in the evening – will be held on each of the first six days of the ATX Open, which runs from February 27 to March 5.
Raducanu has had a disappointing period since her historic win at Flushing Meadows, suffering from injury issues and poor form in her first full season on tour.

An injury scare just before the first Grand Slam of the year was a setback, but she recovered in time for the Australian Open.
She took a short break from tournament tennis ahead of the French Open, but her withdrawal from the Austin Open is a further setback to her fledglinge career.
