With Raducanu facing a fresh setback ahead of the Wimbledon Championships, fans lost their cool and vented their frustration at her.Earlier today, it was revealed that Raducanu will miss the Berlin Open next week due to an injury. The Briton had just made it to the quarterfinals of the Queen’s Club Championships before losing against the top seed, Qinwen Zheng.
