March 17 (Reuters) - ⁠Former U.S. Open champion ⁠Emma Raducanu has pulled ‌out of the Miami Open as she continues her recovery from ​illness, the WTA ⁠said on ⁠Monday. British number one Raducanu, who enjoyed ⁠a ‌run to the quarter-finals in ⁠Florida last year, had been given ​a ‌bye into the second ⁠round. The ​23-year-old has struggled with form and fitness issues since ⁠her only Grand ​Slam triumph as a teenager at New York in 2021 ⁠and has worked with a string of different coaches with little success. The Miami ​Open main ⁠draw begins on Tuesday and ​runs until ‌March 29. (Reporting by Shrivathsa ​Sridhar in Bengaluru; Editing by Peter Rutherford)
