It tells us a lot about the way in which women will be objectified no matter how much they try to avoid it.
Emma Raducanu is currently having a difficult tennis season plagued by injury. Today, she withdrew from the Madrid Open hours before her first-round match due to a right-hand injury, meaning the British No 1 and 2021 US Open champion will now drop out of the Women’s Tennis Association top 100 in the world.
