The 2021 US Open champion received a wild card from the organizers of the WTA 500 Abu Dhabi Open, joining Ons Jabeur and Beatriz Haddad Maia. The tournament will take place from February 5th to February 11th and will mark its third edition, without the presence of the defending champion Belinda Bencic, who is sidelined for the rest of the season due to her pregnancy.
Raducanu confirmed her participation in her first tournament after the Australian Open, making her debut in Abu Dhabi. The full list of players in the main draw is yet to be confirmed by the organizers.
Raducanu's Return
Raducanu made a triumphant return to competition this week, exciting fans with the impressive level of play she showcased. In the first round, she overcame Romanian Elena-Gabriela Ruse (6-3, 4-6, 7-5), but faced a tough challenge in the second round against the tournament's second seed, Elina Svitolina (7-6, 6-7, 6-1). Nevertheless, Raducanu displayed solid gameplay in her comeback after nine months away from competition.
The 21-year-old Brit secured her spot in the Aussie Open main draw after American Lauren Davis withdrew due to a shoulder injury. Last year in Melbourne, Raducanu reached the second round, where she fell to the 7th seed Coco Gauff (3-6, 6-7).
Haddad Maia and Jabeur Advance to Abu Dhabi’s Main Draw
The Brazilian had a challenging start to the season, exiting in the first round of the Adelaide International against former Australian Open finalist Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Haddad Maia faced defeat in her only official match before the first Grand Slam of the year.
As for Jabeur, she will arrive in Melbourne without any official matches under her belt this year. The 3-times Grand Slam finalist will be the 6th seed, and in Abu Dhabi, she will play in only her second tournament of the year.
