When will Emma Raducanu play next after latest foray at Abu Dhabi Open as tennis comeback continues

British tennis star Emma Raducanu has resumed her quest to rediscover the previous glory that saw her capture her maiden Grand Slam title, and appears to have a schedule set for the 2024 WTA season.

The former World No.10 missed more than half of last season due to wrist and ankle injuries, but made her return this year in Australia. After a disappointing performance in Melbourne, Raducanu competed at the Abu Dhabi Open, where she was eliminated in the second round by Ons Jabeur. With more matches under her belt, the 21-year old has her sights set on several more tournaments this season.

Raducanu’s schedule for the second half of the 2024 season will depend her on performances during the first half of the season and whether or not she has moved back into the top 100 of the WTA Rankings. If she remains lowly ranked then she could opt to play several WTA 250 events or even participate in ITF tournaments.
