Emma Raducanu's schedule in early 2025 revealed

Yesterday at 12:30 PM

Emma Raducanu has not returned to the levels that everyone expects from a player of her talent. The British player – who had become world-famous in 2021 when she won the US Open at a very young age – has not played at that level again in the following three years and has had a lot of difficulty handling the pressure.

During the last few seasons, Raducanu has had several injuries and has changed various coaches without ever being able to find the necessary consistency. In 2024, Emma showed flashes of her talent but also had some periods of crisis that took her away from the top positions of the WTA ranking.

The 2021 US Open champion has played 13 tournaments this year, claiming 20 wins and suffering 13 losses. Her season has not been bad, considering that she has defeated some very good players in 2024 and has shown progresses in terms of attitude. Although she is still very young, 2025 will already be a decisive year for the continuation of her career. Emma will have to prove that she can become a champion, reaching the same level as players such as Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek.

The WTA tour would benefit greatly from Raducanu's presence in the decisive stages of Grand Slam tournaments, being a player much loved by fans in every corner of the world.

The British tennis player has just started her off-season, but her schedule for the first two months of 2025 has already been announced.

Raducanu will start next season in Auckland, New Zealand, where she reached the round of 16 as her best result. The 'ASB Classic' will start on December 30 and will end on January 5. His schedule then includes the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the year, which will take place in Melbourne from 13 to 26 January.

After the Happy Slam, the current world number 58 will participate in the Abu Dhabi WTA 500 from February 3 to 9, before playing the first WTA 1000 of the season in Qatar from February 10 to 16.

The British champion achieved success very early on and it was not easy for her to manage popularity, especially after the shocking triumph in New York three years ago.

During a recent interview with ‘Women’s Health’, Emma talked about her life before tennis: "There were certain moments where I felt envy - like when there were parties that I couldn't go to, but at the end of the day, I didn’t know any different. You don’t miss what you don’t know. I knew I wanted to be the best and I knew what I needed to do to get there, so I didn’t think of it as a sacrifice.”

She continued: "Newstead is pretty demanding, so it wasn’t like I could take it easy off the court, either. I put all my time into tennis or school, but it was good to have those two different worlds: school and tennis. Each was a break from the other.”

Raducanu will have to improve to reduce the number of his injuries and to add new weapons to her game. Her main goals in 2025 will be the Grand Slam tournaments and the WTA 1000, where she could improve her ranking and have more favorable draws.

To achieve these goals, the work in the off-season will be key and Emma seems intent on giving her best in the next two months. The surface of the Australian Open suits his game well and the first Grand Slam of the season is often the most unpredictable in terms of results.

Recently, Raducanu commented on her 2024 season: “Then I struggled a little bit more with my body I think physically. Wasn’t able to play the full calendar and stay on court as much as I would have liked.

But my assessment is, you know, I think sometimes I need reminding, I’m top 60 in the world and I have played less than 15 events, which is pretty unheard of, in a way.

I have to pat myself on the back for that. I know I’m a dangerous player. I know no one wants to pull my name in the draw. I take pride in that, and I’m looking forward to hopefully staying on court longer next year.

I come back now, I feel like everything happens for a reason. It gave me time to work on certain things. Two days ago I served 10 aces, for example, which I did in Seoul in my last match, but it’s been a work in progress. It doesn’t just happen overnight.

Even if I was a little bit at the time disappointed, now I feel pretty good, and I don’t look back with any regrets.”
