It’s an injury that flares up intermittently. I’ve managed it well over the last few weeks, but I suppose after five matches this week—even though two were doubles—it’s a test of my limits. \n\nI could feel the pain gradually increasing. I had to step off the court, they strapped me up and gave me painkillers. It’s something that’s been lingering for a while. I’ve had back issues before. I think it’s one of my weak points, so I just need to take proper care of it. \n\nI’m not worried that it’s anything serious. But it’s annoying and requires caution.","author_id":298288,"author_name":"Jules Hypolite","author_login":"Jules Hypolite","author_logo":null,"type":"flash","image":"roCH.jpg","imageUrl":"https://cdn.tennistemple.com/images/upload/bank/roCH.jpg","views":{"app":"841","recent":"149","total":"2810","web":"1975","hourly":"149","hour":"149"},"cached":1749988246006,"linked":[{"type":"games","id":"9424624"},{"type":"players","id":"7725"},{"type":"competitions","id":"47310"}],"title":"It’s an injury I’ve been carrying for a while,\" Raducanu discusses her back issues after Queen’s exit "}},"competitions":{"47310":{"id":"47310","parent":"47310","site_id":"118","name":"The HSBC Championships","city":"Londres","country":"GBR","background":"","logo":"","draw_size":32,"importance":79,"indoor":0,"week":24,"year":2025,"surface":"grass","surface_color":0,"category":"WTA 500","time_start":1749420000,"time_end":1750024799,"qualif_start":1749247200,"qualif_draw_size":24,"qualif_rounds":2,"prizemoney":1064510,"currency":"USD","winner":0,"gender":"women","type":"draw","cached":1749988481602}},"sites":{"118":{"id":"118","name":"Queen's Club","city_id":"295","city_name":"Londres","country_code":"GBR","city_timezone":"Europe/London","weather":{"code":34,"temp":22,"wind":17,"humidity":53},"cached":1749987942015}},"games":{"9424624":{"id":"9424624","p1_id":"7892","p2_id":"7725","p1_seed":1,"p2_seed":100,"status":"played","competition_id":"47310","winner_id":"7892","looser_id":"7725","duration":6571,"score":"6/2, 6/4","time":1749835653,"round":3,"prediction_validity":1,"prediction_points":1,"prediction_odd":3,"cached":1749922113291,"odds":[{"p1":"1.11","p2":"4.35"}]}},"players":{"7725":{"id":"7725","name":"Raducanu","first_name":"Emma","country":"GBR","gender":"female","rank":37,"liveRank":36,"updated":1749835678,"photo":"Emma-Raducanu-8.jpg","cached":1749922129586},"7892":{"id":"7892","name":"Zheng","first_name":"Qinwen","country":"CHN","gender":"female","rank":5,"liveRank":4,"updated":1749919253,"photo":"Qinwen-Zheng-57.jpg","cached":1749919288416}},"schedules":{"269604":{"id":"269604","game_id":"9424624","time":1749823200,"day":"2025-06-13","site_id":118,"court":1,"court_name":"Andy Murray Arena","court_order":1,"order":3,"type":1,"status":"","first":1,"last":1,"cached":1749922113304}},"topics":{}}
