Where is Raducanu playing next?
Emma Raducanu has returned to Wimbledon, the scene of her 2021 breakthrough, troubled by a back problem since competing at Strasbourg in May.
However, she came through her first-round encounter with fellow Brit Mimi Xu 6-3 6-3 before producing arguable her best performance for years with another 6-3 6-3 success, but this time over 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova.
Raducanu will take on world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the third round on Friday.
Raducanu has entered the WTA 500 Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington from July 21-27, where she will make her third appearance at the hard-court event in preparation for the US Open.

Her career-high ranking was No 10, back in July 2022.
Who is Raducanu’s coach?
Raducanu is currently being coached by Mark Petchey
Raducanu is currently being coached by former British No 1 Mark Petchey.
She took a break from the WTA Tour following her run to the Miami Open quarter-finals and instead took part in a training block with Petchey – who had helped her in Florida – ahead of the clay-court swing, working on her serve.
Raducanu has been without a permanent coach since parting ways with Nick Cavaday in January. Before adding Petchey to her team, the British tennis star had a two-week trial period with Vladimir Platenik.
Petchey has previously coached former world No 1 Andy Murray into the world’s top 50.
How has Raducanu’s 2025 gone so far?
Raducanu began her 2025 campaign at the Australian Open where she reached the third round, losing to Iga Swiatek in straight sets.
The British No 2 returned to action at the Singapore Open where she lost a gruelling three-hour battle to world No 101 Cristina Bucsa from Spain in the first round.
Further disappointing first-round losses followed in the space of a week, first in Abu Dhabi against former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova and then to Ekaterina Alexandrova in Qatar.
She snapped a four-match losing streak with victory over former world No 3 Maria Sakkari in the first round of the Dubai Tennis Championships, only to fall to a straight-sets loss against Karolina Muchova in the next round.
Raducanu returned to action at Indian Wells in March, losing in the first round to Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima before putting together a superb run in Miami.

At the French Open, Raducanu opened her campaign with a first-round victory over China’s Wang Xinyu but then suffered a second-round defeat to four-time French Open champion Iga Swiatek, losing 6-1 6-2.
At Queen’s Club, Raducanu defeated Cristina Bucșa 6-1 6-2 and Rebecca Sramkova 6-4 6-1 to make the quarter-finals before bowing out to top seed Qinwen Zheng 6-2 6-4.

Highlights of Raducanu’s historic win at the 2021 US Open
So far, the 2021 US Open victory remains Raducanu’s sole success in a major tournament.
She reached the fourth round in Wimbledon that year – a feat she matched in 2024 and might have bettered were it not for injury – but at the Australian and French Opens, she has never progressed beyond the third round.
