Emma
Raducanu shared a cryptic message on Twitter about her return to tennis.
The former
world No. 10 has been away from the courts since April of this year when she
participated in the Stuttgart Open on clay and suffered a defeat in the first
round against former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko with a score of 2-6,
1-6.

After
playing only five tournaments this year due to physical complications, Raducanu
decided to undergo surgery in May on both her wrists and one of her ankles.
With some uncertainty surrounding Raducanu's comeback to the WTA tour, there
was little clarity about her return to competition, although she has been seen
with bandages on her hands recently.
The
20-year-old tennis player shared a message on Twitter, updating her fans about
her work to make a comeback to competitive play.
“Today was
a good day - 🧽🎾”
Emma
Raducanu will make her return to the tennis court in the exhibition event in
Macao, China in December of this year. She has been confirmed to participate in
the mixed tournament that will take place at the East Asian Games Dome.
Several
other top players will also be participating in the event, including the local
23-year-old player Yibing Wu and American top-10 players Taylor Fritz and
Frances Tiafoe. Swiss Olympic medalist Belinda Bencic, who won a medal at the
Tokyo 2020 Olympics, will also be part of the tournament.

The
presence of Raducanu and Yibing Wu, who won the ATP 250 Dallas Open this year,
has been highlighted by Luiz Carvalho, the Senior Vice President of IMG:
“Emma’s
Chinese roots and her remarkable rise to stardom by winning the US Open have
made her a global sensation, while Wu Yibing’s historic feat as the first
Chinese national to win an ATP tournament has significantly elevated his
standing in world tennis," Carvalho said.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. 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
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
