US Open champion Emma Raducanu has begun training at Melbourne Park ahead of the season’s first Grand Slam tournament but the teenager is set to miss this week’s warm-up tournament in Melbourne after having just come out of Covid-19 isolation.

Radacanu had come out of Covid-19 isolation after testing positive for the virus. She had pulled out of the Mubadala World Tennis Championship exhibition event in Abu Dhabi last month due to Covid-19.

Raducanu, who became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam when she reigned supreme at US Open, was scheduled to headline one of the two women’s WTA 250 warm-up tournaments taking place at Melbourne Park — dubbed the ‘Melbourne Summer Set’ — from January 4 to 9.

“The timing to compete in the first Melbourne event this week is too soon for me, having just returned from isolation,” Raducanu said.

The world number 19 is scheduled to compete in the Sydney Classic later this month before making her debut in the January 17-30 Australian Open.
