She needed once more a visit from the doctor at the Ningbo Open this week, where she lost in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the opening round.
Raducanu was also moving far from freely in the final set in the match with Zhu owing to back discomfort that has been a concern at times this year.
