Raducanu underwent blood pressure monitoring during her first-round match with Ann Li in Wuhan last week and stopped playing when behind 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity. She needed once more medical attention at this week's Ningbo Open, where she fell in a three-set match to local wildcard Zhu Lin in the first round.
