The eye-catching entry list was announced by the USTA on Tuesday. Lew Sherr, the USTA’s chief executive, said the tournament was always “confident” of getting the world’s leading players involved. “Seeing the teams that have already put their names on the entry list makes us all incredibly excited,” he said. “It shows that the players...
“It’s just a vulnerability of mine. I know I need to take good care of it. “I need to let the back rest. [It] needs proper and careful management.” Raducanu opted to play in Berlin rather than Nottingham after being offered a wildcard for the WTA 500 event, which starts on Monday and is set...
There was reason for Raducanu to be confident against Zheng, who is still finding her feet on the grass court and has a serve that can waver when under pressure. Raducanu had also made relatively serene progress through her first two matches, dropping just eight games across four sets. But, as Raducanu found against Iga...

A group of ball girls giggle with excitement as they spot Raducanu hitting at Queen’s Club on Sunday. She remains a huge draw to fans, sponsors and tournament organisers. Multiple wrist and ankle operations and a series of other injuries derailed her attempts to build on that Grand Slam triumph in New York and frequent...

Emma Raducanu’s miserable record against Iga Swiatek continued as she was outclassed by the defending champion in their French Open second-round meeting. The British number two was beaten 6-1 6-2 on the Paris clay and has now lost all five of her matches against the five-time Grand Slam winner. It was another reminder of the...
Raducanu has had little joy against Swiatek. The 2021 US Open champion has lost all four of their previous meetings – twice on indoor clay in Stuttgart, and twice on hard courts at Indian Wells and this year’s Australian Open. The 6-1 6-0 defeat in Melbourne was particularly chastening, with Swiatek’s groundstrokes proving too powerful...
Victory was yet another illustration of Raducanu’s improved resilience. Raducanu has previously been accused of not showing enough determination to get through matches where she is not feeling 100% physically. Before the tournament the former world number 10 also described how she had felt pressured by previous coaches into playing when she knew she was...
Emma Raducanu demonstrated her growing confidence on a clay court with a commanding Italian Open second-round win over Swiss lucky loser Jil Teichmann. British number two Raducanu, who only knew she was facing Teichmann a few hours before the match, progressed with a clinical 6-2 6-2 win. After earning her first win on outdoor clay...
After taking a tight first set, Raducanu was serving for the match at 5-4 in the second when a resurgent Joint fought back and was able to take the former US Open champion to a tie-break, which the 19-year-old breezed through 7-1. Raducanu then had to regroup for the deciding set and raced into a...
The aim is to find someone who can act in a support role to Petchey, who has significant broadcast commitments throughout the year. “I just need to work on who that person is,” Raducanu added. Petchey will be able to devote more time to Raducanu during the grass-court season, and the work they have been...
Raducanu took a “physical and mental” break after reaching the Miami Open quarter-finals last month and the opening round in Madrid on Wednesday was her first competitive match since. It also marked a first win on the outdoor clay in almost three years. But on Friday, competing in just her 18th competitive clay-court match, the...
Boulter starts her clay-court swing on Tuesday when she plays Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic in the Madrid Open first round. The Briton’s experience on clay is still limited, having only played four top-level main-draw matches on the surface. After winning one and losing one of her BJK Cup singles matches last week on...
