Fans on the social media reacted after the recent draws made for the Abu Dhabi Open. The competition’s draw has been recently announced where some of the top players will participate.
One of the names would be Britain’s tennis star Emma Raducanu who will be taking part in the event. Fans on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — analysed the development by making some interesting predictions.
Another notable name who will be playing in the competition will be the former world number one Japan’s Naomi Osaka.
The 21-year-old has recently returned to professional tennis after a break of nearly one year during which she went through multiple procedures. She participated in the first Grand Slam of 2024, the Australian Open, where she lost to China’s Wang Yafan with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 in the second-round tie.
Before that, Raducanu participated in the ASB Classic where she lost in the round of 16 to Elina Svitolina of Ukraine with a score of 6-7, 7-6, 6-1.
The Toronto-born broke onto the scene in 2021 when she won the US Open after beating Canada’s Leylah Fernandez in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-3. That victory was an even more special one considering that Raducanu started the competition through the qualifying round.
