Emma Raducanu to Compete in Qualifying Draw at Abu Dhabi Open

Posted : 30 January 2025

Emma Raducanu, who made headlines with her fairytale victory at the 2021 US Open, is set to compete in the qualifying draw of next week's Abu Dhabi Open. This will be her first time in a qualifying event since her breakthrough Grand Slam win. At 22, Raducanu is traveling with her fitness trainer, Yutaka Nakamura, but is without a coach after Nick Cavaday stepped down for health reasons.

 

Raducanu's most recent performance saw her reach the third round of the Australian Open before losing to Cristina Bucsa in a three-hour battle at the Singapore Open. Her rise to prominence at the 2021 US Open, where she won ten matches without dropping a set, made her the first qualifier to claim a Grand Slam title. However, her ranking has at times made qualifying a more viable path to main draws, and she has expressed no opposition to competing in qualifiers.

 

The Abu Dhabi Open will see Raducanu join other high-profile players such as world number five Elena Rybakina, Paula Badosa, and British number one Katie Boulter, who have direct entry into the main draw. Raducanu’s qualifying campaign will begin on Saturday, marking the start of her bid for a place in the WTA 500 event’s main draw.
