Raducanu started Sunday’s final wearing significant strapping on the inside of her left thigh, which she removed late in the first set.
After her defeat, she said: “I have just been dealing with a few niggles over the past few weeks, and of course the load I have had in the last week.”
Last month saw Raducanu reunite with Andrew Richardson, the coach who guided her to that US Open triumph as a qualifier.
Raducanu posted on Instagram on Monday morning: “A special week. Thank you London. Thank you Queens, all of your support & the atmosphere this week at home meant everything to me. It hurts but it’s just more fuel. To my team too, all your resilience and efforts to get me here.”
