Surgery Behind Her, Emma Raducanu Aims for Australian Open Return

Emma Raducanu’s return to the slopes is getting closer. According to the British newspaper The Times, Raducanu, 21 years old and 2021 US Open champion, plans to return at the Australian Open… but with a small problem.

That problem is that Raducanu will try to enter the final draw with his protected ranking of 103 in the world at the time he had surgery on both wrists and his ankle last April… but to get his place he will have to wait for at least six top-ranked tennis players drop out before the tournament. The number 99 in the WTA ranking determines the cut to access the final draw, since, like Raducanu, eight other tennis players have requested access to the final draw with a better protected ranking than the British.

In the event that these conditions are not met, Raducanu will be forced to play the previous round to earn her ticket to the final draw, something she also did at the 2021 US Open, when she managed to win the title, or wait for The Australian Open grants him one of the eight invitations to the tournament. Be that as it may, Raducanu is now ready to return to the Australian Open after a 2023 to forget due to injuries.
