Overview
- The world No. 29 will debut at the mixed-gender United Cup in Perth, starting against Japan’s Naomi Osaka before a group tie against Greece.
- The event awards WTA points, with reporting noting 32 points for a single group win, around 90 for two group victories, and up to 500 in a full sweep if Great Britain claims the title.
- Raducanu says she has been “stacking good days,” citing improved fitness, steadier practice blocks and a more composed approach after a healthier 2025.
- Great Britain’s lineup changed after Jack Draper withdrew from the Australian swing with a left-arm bone bruise, with Billy Harris stepping in alongside Neal Skupski, Olivia Nicholls, Jan Choinski and Katie Swan under captain Tim Henman.
- She has been working with coach Francisco Roig and added physio and strength coach Emma Stewart, and she is expected to play Hobart next week for additional ranking opportunities, with some analysis warning a quiet January could threaten top-32 seeding later in the season.
