Emma Raducanu: The Road Ahead in 2025
Stay up to speed with the latest news and results as British tennis star Emma Raducanu looks to find form in 2025. With her dedicated focus on improving her game and overcoming challenges, Raducanu is back in action and making strides in her tennis career.
Where is Raducanu Playing Next?
Raducanu is gearing up for the second Grand Slam of the year, the French Open, set to commence on May 25. Her first match will be against China’s Wang Xinyu. This matchup holds significance as Wang was responsible for cutting short Raducanu’s impressive Wimbledon debut in 2021, where the Brit advanced to the last 16.
If Raducanu makes it past the first round, she may face the formidable four-time French Open champion, Iga Swiatek, who will kick off her campaign against Rebecca Sramkova.
Recently, Raducanu experienced an injury scare during the Strasbourg Open, where she received treatment on her back during a challenging three-set loss against Danielle Collins, highlighting the physical and mental demands of the sport.

The Grand Slam calendar is firmly set for the rest of the year, with Raducanu also slated to compete at Wimbledon (June 30 – July 13) and the US Open (August 25 – September 7). Following the French Open, she, along with fellow Brit Katie Boulter, will make a historic return to Queen’s, marking the first appearance of women’s tennis at the London venue in over 50 years.
Raducanu will also make a wild card entry into the Berlin Tennis Open, featuring a stacked lineup including the world No. 1, Aryna Sabalenka, along with nine of the top 10 players.
What is Raducanu’s Current Ranking?
As of May 19, Raducanu is ranked No. 43 in the world, a significant climb given that she was placed No. 80 on March 17. Her rise in the rankings is attributed to a commendable performance in Miami, where she showcased her potential alongside her career-high ranking of No. 10 in July 2022. In the previous year, Raducanu concluded her season ranked No. 59, having won 20 out of the 33 matches she played.
Who is Raducanu’s Coach?
Currently, Emma Raducanu is being coached by Mark Petchey, a former British No. 1. Petchey has been instrumental in helping Raducanu refine her skills, particularly focusing on improving her serve as she prepares for the clay-court season.
She took a brief hiatus from the WTA Tour after her run to the Miami Open quarter-finals to engage in a dedicated training block with Petchey. He previously helped guide former world No. 1 Andy Murray into the world’s top 50. Raducanu has been without a permanent coach since parting ways with Nick Cavaday in January, exploring different coaching arrangements in her quest for the right fit.
How has Raducanu’s 2025 Gone So Far?
The start of Raducanu’s 2025 season has been mixed. She kicked off her campaign at the Australian Open where she reached the third round before facing Iga Swiatek and suffering a straight-sets defeat. Following this, she participated in the Singapore Open but faced another early exit against world No. 101, Cristina Bucsa.
Further attempts to find her footing resulted in consecutive first-round losses at both the Abu Dhabi Open and Qatar Open. However, Raducanu broke this streak with a commendable first-round victory over former world No. 3 Maria Sakkari at the Dubai Tennis Championships, only to face another setback against Karolina Muchova in the following round.
Her journey continued at Indian Wells, where she exited in the first round against Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima. A remarkable turnaround occurred at the Miami Open, where Raducanu advanced to the quarter-finals, marking her best performance in a WTA 1000 event this season.
Unfortunately, Raducanu had to withdraw from the Billie Jean King Cup qualifying round, but she gracefully returned to the clay-court swing, making significant strides in her preparations.
Raducanu’s clay season began at the Madrid Open, where she showcased her talent by securing a victory over Suzan Lamens before bowing out to Marta Kostyuk in a tightly contested match. Later, at the Italian Open, she battled her way through to the last 16 before succumbing to fourth seed Coco Gauff.
