Emma Raducanu Suffers Third Consecutive Early Exit at Abu Dhabi Open

The 2021 US Open champion fell in straight sets to Marketa Vondrousova, extending her struggles in the early 2025 season.

Raducanu lost 6-3, 6-4 in the first round to 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova at the Abu Dhabi Open.
The defeat marks her third consecutive early exit, following losses at the Singapore Open and the Australian Open's third round.
Raducanu, ranked No. 56, entered the main draw as a wildcard after initially being slated for qualifying rounds.
The 22-year-old is currently without a permanent coach after parting ways with Nick Cavaday last month and relied on temporary assistance from Roman Kelecic.
Raducanu showed signs of physical discomfort during the match and struggled with unforced errors, totaling 32 across both sets.
