Emma Raducanu issues warning to rivals ahead of 2025 season

Raducanu was encouraged by her performances at the end of 2024.

Her Billie Jean King Cup finals matches was her first since retiring from her Korea Open quarter-final against Daria Kasatkina in September.

She claimed wins over Jule Niemeier, Rebewcca Marino and Viktoria Hruncakova in Malaga, but Great Britain were eliminated in the semi-finals.

But looking ahead to 2025, Raducanu warned her rivals that she plans to be a thorn in their side on a more consistent basis.

“My assessment is, I think sometimes I need reminding. I’m top 60 in the world and I have played less than 15 events, which is pretty unheard of, in a way,” Raducanu said via the WTA website.

“I have to pat myself on the back for that. I know I’m a dangerous player. I know no one wants to pull my name in the draw. I take pride in that, and I’m looking forward to hopefully staying on court longer next year.”
