Emma Raducanu failed to receive a wild card for the Cincinnati Open, while Katie Boulter, Jack Draper and Cameron Norrie all earned favourable draws for the event – live on Vscek Tennis.
Raducanu has reached the Mubadala Citi Open quarterfinals in Washington before losing to eventual champion Paolo Badosa.
The former US Open champion had been counting on a main-draw wild card for Cincinnati, but organizers awarded them to Caroline Wozniacki, Bianca Andreescu, Peyton Stearns and Caroline Dolehide for the tournament that will take place August 12-19 – live on Sky Sport Tennis and Sky Sport+.
Now it’s likely the 21-year-old will arrive in New York without playing in Toronto and Cincinnati.
