Overview
- British No. 1 Emma Raducanu, ranked No. 29, leads Great Britain in Group E and is scheduled to play Naomi Osaka on Sunday and Maria Sakkari on Monday in Perth.
- The mixed-team event awards WTA ranking points; Tennis365 reports 32 points for one group-stage singles win, 90 for two, and 60 for each quarter-final or semi-final singles victory, with a maximum of 500 for five wins.
- Tennis365’s projections suggest a strong run could lift her toward the top 20, while early exits this month could endanger a top-32 position, presented as scenario analysis rather than official forecasts.
- Great Britain’s lineup changed after Jack Draper withdrew with a bone bruise, with Billy Harris joining a squad captained by Tim Henman alongside Neal Skupski, Katie Swan and Olivia Nicholls.
- Raducanu says her focus is on “stacking the good days” after gains in fitness and consistency under coach Francisco Roig, and Tennis365 reports she is expected to add Hobart next week for more points opportunities.
