Emma Raducanu's next few weeks are uncertain with no tournament confirmed as of yet in the next move for the former US Open champion who has posted some new images of training at the LTA's National Tennis Centre as she keeps fit and ready for the next part of the season.
Raducanu instead of deciding to remain in Dubai and wait for a potential wildcard with Naomi Osaka for instance withdrawing which could've given her a chance returned to London and was set to do some soul searching and altering of her schedule. This after her comeback hit the breaks with a loss to Anhelina Kalinina at the Qatar Open which was a wake-up call especially with criticism that followed about her attending galas and events for brands in Dubai days before.
"I think that I need to kind of schedule my tournaments a bit better as well as just trying to get some more matches under my belt,” she said at the time. “I think that I’m just going to go home and practice and we’ll see where it goes from there.”
But the waiting game is there for Raducanu to get an Indian Wells wildcard. Venus Williams and Caroline Wozniacki have both been afforded one already. There is the caveat though that she may not play in both tournaments of the Sunshine Double. If she is not given a wildcard for Indian Wells, the wait will likely go on until Miami.
IMG who are management for Raducanu run the Miami Open and so she is likely to be given a wildcard no matter what for the second part. Tournaments in Charleston and San Luis in Mexico could be an option during the second week of the double, but Raducanu faces a dilemma which isn't helped by her status.
Being a player that tournaments clamour for instead of one on the way down and with recent success, Raducanu's management may decide against allowing her to play lower level and instead rely on the wildcards that are to come in the next few months heading into the clay court season. Sitting in London waiting for an Indian Wells call, Raducanu will likely return in the next few weeks but her schedule post that will be a continued mystery.

- 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
