Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the Italian Open in Rome because of post-viral symptoms.
The former US Open champion had been due to continue her clay-court preparations ahead of the French Open but opted to pull out as she continues her recovery.
Raducanu has endured an injury-hit and illness-affected spell in recent seasons, with her schedule carefully managed as she looks to regain consistency on the WTA Tour.
Her withdrawal from Rome raises doubts over her preparations for Roland Garros later this month, although the Briton is expected to focus on recovering fully before returning to action.
