Emma Raducanu has pulled out of this week's China Open in Beijing because of a foot injury.
The 21-year-old Briton had to retire injured from her Korea Open quarter-final in Seoul on Saturday because of the issue.
Raducanu's name appeared in the Beijing draw when it was released on Monday before she withdrew shortly afterwards.
"I sprained some ligaments in my foot which unfortunately need some more time to heal," she wrote on X.
"It means I can't play in Beijing but I hope to be back competing as soon as I can."
The world number 54 was due to face a qualifier in the first round, with Chinese fifth seed Zheng Qinwen potentially waiting in the next round.
In Seoul, Raducanu took a medical timeout after five games against Russia's Daria Kasatkina and decided to stop after losing the opening set.
The British number two, who famously won the 2021 US Open as a teenage qualifier, is next scheduled to play in Wuhan, China on 7 October.
