Britain's Emma Raducanu says she will make her return to tennis next season after struggling with injuries.

The former world number 10 has missed three of the four Grand Slams this season after undergoing surgery on her ankle and both wrists in May.

On Monday Raducanu dropped outside of the world's top 200 and she will not return to tennis before the season-ending WTA Finals in November.

"Next season I'll be back," the 20-year-old told BBC Sport.

"This season all the slams were finished so it was difficult to watch them go by but I was trying to stay in my lane as much as possible and keep focused on my recovery.
