Emma Raducanu started training ahead of the Abu Dhabi Open 2024

Emma Raducanu started training ahead of her next tournament in Muvadala, Abu Dhabi. She is ready to be back on court after her positive return to action in the opening month of 2024. She is set to play in the Abu Dhabi Open, alongside Onze Jabbour, Elena Rybakena, Maria Sakkari and many more. Raducanu has a protected ranking of number 103, as that was where she sat in the WTA standings, when she stepped away from the court last April. That ranking would not be enough, to guarantee her entry to Grand Slam events, or the prestige WTA 1000 tournaments, but she has appeared on the entry list, for the Indian Wells Masters, that is set to take place in early March. Her return to action in Auckland, saw her win a long first round match, and then play at a high level against Elena Spitalina. Raducanu then went on to beat Shelby Rogers, in the opening round of the Australian Open, before a defeat against 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 Wong Yafen, in a match that lasted 2 hours and 55 minutes. She left Australia greatly encouraged, for what is to come as she told reporters, there were doubts whether, I would be able to make the Australian Open trip, so it was a bonus to play there. As I said before, I'm more focused on level, and the practice days trying to win the day, rather than focusing more on win or loss. I know the difference, between me playing ok and me playing good, or me playing great are just really, really in the details, like doing a few things just 5% better. I think it makes a huge difference. I'm feeling very positive, I really just want to play a full season. The encouraging thing is, even though I played two back to back, three setters in Auckland, a three setter today, body wise, strength wise, I didn't come up with any random niggles. She also suggested, she would be open to playing lower level tour events, including ITF World Tennis Tour tournaments, the level below the WTA Tour.
