Emma Raducanu pulls out of Miami Open with lower back injury
Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the Miami Open on the eve of the joint ATP and WTA 1000 tournament due to a lower back injury.
Raducanu had hoped to build on her positive performances at Indian Wells over the last two weeks and she had been handed a fair draw, with a first-round meeting against Wang Xiyu of China and the winner facing Anna Kalinskaya, the 22nd seed, in the second round.
At Indian Wells, Raducanu won two matches at a tournament for the first time since her return to the tour at the beginning of the year. Raducanu then lost 6-3, 7-5 to Aryna Sabalenka, showing her fight and shotmaking abilities in two tight, quality sets.
Instead of continuing to build momentum and gaining points to rise back up the rankings following her eight-month layoff due to surgeries on both hands and an ankle, Raducanu has suffered yet another disappointing setback.
According to a member of Raducanu’s camp, the injury is not serious but she has been feeling pain in her back and did not want to risk worsening it. It remains to be seen if Raducanu will be fit for the Billie Jean King Cup tie against France next month, which is her next scheduled competition.
Last week, she was announced as part of Britain’s team alongside Katie Boulter, Heather Watson and Harriet Dart for the qualifying tie in Le Portel. The tie starts on 12 April, meaning Raducanu has three and a half weeks to recover and prepare for the start of another clay court season.

In the men’s draw, Andy Murray faces a tough opening-round match against the former top 10 player Matteo Berrettini. A finalist at Wimbledon in 2021, Berrettini is on the comeback trail after an injury-ravaged 18 months and he has fallen out of the top 100. The Italian played his first tournament in seven months last week, reaching the final of the Phoenix challenger before losing to No 60 Nuno Borges of Portugal. Last year, Murray recovered from match-point down to defeat Berrettini after five sets in the opening round of the Australian Open.

“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Tommie Lee among 6 arrested during World Cup match in Miami, sheriff says
Reality television personality Tommie Lee — whose real name is Atasha Jefferson — best known for her appearances on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” was among six people arrested during the England vs. Norway FIFA World Cup match in Miami on Saturday, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said 60,024 fans attended the match. Deputies also reported 19 ejections from the stadium, adding that all incidents were isolated and handled quickly.
Authorities have not yet released the circumstances surrounding Jefferson’s arrest or any charges she may face.
A social media account that regularly reports celebrity news claimed Sunday that Jefferson was arrested July 11 and released July 12 after posting a $1,000 bond. The post also alleged she is facing a felony charge of interference with a sporting or entertainment event and said she later shared a video on Snapchat appearing to be in good spirits after her release.
What we don’t know
CBS News has not independently verified those claims, including the reported charge, bond amount or release information, and Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office has not publicly confirmed those details.
CBS News has also not independently verified what led to the encounter, and the sheriff’s office has not said what prompted deputies to take Jefferson into custody.
CBS News has requested Jefferson’s arrest report, booking information and any charging documents from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office. A request for comment has also been sent to Jefferson’s representatives.
Reality TV star’s legal troubles in South Florida amid World Cup festivities
Jefferson rose to national prominence as one of the breakout personalities on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” before later appearing on several Zeus Network reality series, where she has remained a frequent cast member.
This is not Jefferson’s first legal issue in South Florida. In 2024, she was arrested in Miami Beach on a battery charge following an incident outside LIV Nightclub. Court records from that case alleged she physically confronted another person before officers took her into custody.
Saturday’s arrest comes as Miami continues hosting FIFA World Cup matches that have drawn tens of thousands of fans from around the world. Despite the arrests and ejections, the sheriff’s office said the event proceeded safely and described the incidents as isolated.
This is a developing story. CBS News will update this article as additional information, including the exact circumstances surrounding Jefferson’s arrest and any charges, becomes available.
