Emma Raducanu will make her professional doubles debut when she plays with fellow 2002 talent Clara Tauson in Washington against Niculescu/Hradecka tomorrow. Pretty incredible. Even in ITF juniors, where doubles counts to the ranking, she played only five events in her life .
Raducanu set for WTA doubles debut at Citi Open Washington as partner confirmed

Emma Raducanu will make her WTA doubles debut on Monday evening after she was confirmed in both draws for Citi Open Washington with her singles campaign starting tomorrow.
The US Open champion will team up with fellow teenager and tennis talent in Clara Tauson in the WTA 250 event in an interesting complexion given that Raducanu hardly played doubles in juniors and is only just making her WTA debut.
While for Tauson, she has played at Grand Slam tournaments in doubles so will bring the experience albeit against the third seeds Lucie Hradecka and Monica Niculescu.
Should they prevail, Sophie Chang-Astra Sharma and Makenna Jones-Sloane Stephens are the match to watch with a second round tie up for grabs.

Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
