Emma Raducanu given Miami Open wildcard

Britain's Emma Raducanu has been given a wildcard to play at the Miami Open next month.

The 21-year-old has not played since losing to Ukraine's Anhelina Kalinina in Doha on 12 February.

Raducanu is ranked 252nd in the world as she continues her comeback from an eight-month injury lay-off.

Former major champions Venus Williams, 41, and Caroline Wozniacki, 33, have also been given wildcards for the hard-court tournament in Miami.

The event, which is one of the biggest outside of the four Grand Slam tournaments, starts on 17 March.

It is is still unclear if Raducanu will play before then at the Indian Wells event in California, which precedes Miami as part of the 'Sunshine Double' and begins on 6 March.
