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.

Where Next for Raducanu?

After an exit in the last sixteen at the Italian Open, Raducanu is set to finalize her preparations for the French Open at the Internationaux de Strasbourg. The young British No. 2 was awarded a wild card and will make her debut in this tournament, which begins Monday. Her performance in Rome was promising; it marked the first time in her career she won three consecutive matches on clay, before falling to world No. 3 Coco Gauff, 6-1 6-2.

Originally, the course was thought to lead directly to Roland Garros, set to commence on May 25. However, Raducanu’s inclusion in Strasbourg suggests a strategic approach to regain her competitive edge ahead of this Grand Slam.

Raducanu’s Impressive Miami Open Run

Raducanu recorded her best result yet in a WTA 1000 event by reaching the quarter-finals of the Miami Open this March, reversing earlier disappointments like her first-round exit at Indian Wells. In Florida, she showcased resilience and skill. She defeated Japan’s Sayaka Ishii to kick off her campaign and took down a trio of American players, including eighth seed Emma Navarro and 17th seed Amanda Anisimova.

While her run ended against Jessica Pegula, it was a notable performance, hinting that she might be on the upswing as the season progresses. After four victories in a row—her first since her spectacular win at the US Open in 2021—this success was particularly significant.

How Has Raducanu’s 2025 Gone So Far?

Raducanu’s 2025 journey started at the Australian Open, where she reached the third round but ultimately lost to the formidable Iga Swiatek. She stumbled at the Singapore Open and faced disappointing early exits in subsequent tournaments in Abu Dhabi and Qatar. After a rough patch, she rebounded with a notable win over former world No. 3 Maria Sakkari at the Dubai Tennis Championships, although she soon encountered another setback in the following round.

Returning to competitive play at Indian Wells, Raducanu faced a first-round exit, but her resurgence in Miami offers hope for improving results. Her decision to withdraw from the Billie Jean King Cup—citing the need to focus on personal fitness and future events—was strategic, allowing her to reflect and prepare.

Raducanu’s 2025 Results and Schedule

The WTA schedule for the rest of the year is set, with significant upcoming events including the French Open (May 25-June 8), Wimbledon (June 30-July 13), and the US Open (August 25-September 7). Raducanu is also expected to compete at Queen’s, as women’s tennis returns to this historic London venue for the first time in over 50 years.

However, her opportunities at the Australian and French Opens have yet to yield results beyond the second round.
