"I'm curious about what my level can get to" - Emma Raducanu excited about playing more matches in 2025
WTA
British tennis star Emma Raducanu has never played a full schedule on the WTA tour, as she has been hindered by injuries in her short career. However, the former World No.10 appears motivated to increase her match count in the upcoming 2025 season.
After winning her maiden Grand Slam title at the 2021 US Open, Raducanu is yet to make an impact on the WTA tour. The 22-year old has had a light schedule compared to her colleagues, playing only 10 matches in 2023 and 36 during the 2024 season.

Playing more matches is one of her goals for 2025, admits Raducanu
The former British No.1 stated she would like to increase her number of matches played in the upcoming season. Raducanu revealed she had finally figured out how to practice and make small improvements in her game during tournaments.
"I want to play more than I did this year," admitted Raducanu in an interview with PA. "I think now, with my set-up, I’m in a place where I can continue work on the road. So I don’t necessarily need to come back to continue good physical work.
"I can do it pretty much every day, like microdoses. And I think that’s actually going to be a great addition for me next year, which I’m excited about.
"Also with my tennis, I’m in a pretty good spot. I feel like I just want to see how much I can do, fulfil my potential. I’m curious about what my level can get to. I really want to play more. And I think a big part of that is just staying healthy."

Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.

Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
