During the Asian swing, the 2021 US Open champion dealt with foot and back problems, as well as illness. That forced her to end her season in mid-October.
After ending her 2025 season early, Raducanu took some time off to recover, as well as enjoy some quality time with her friends. Then the world number 29 started her preparations for the 2026 season.
Raducanu: I feel quite satisfied and relaxed… It’s a good place to be
“I’m pretty happy with how things are going on and off the pitch. I’m in a pretty good place. I think despite the challenges I’ve faced with the foot or health at the end of the season, I feel in a good place and starting to build back up in the gym. I feel pretty relaxed for next year, which is a good place to be. I’m just proud of the season I’ve put in this year and the progress I’ve made,” the 23-year-old told the club. BBC.
For the first time in her career, Raducanu will start her season at the United Cup as she will represent Great Britain with Jack Draper. On January 4, the British team will meet Japan in their opening match. That day, the best British tennis player will face four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka.
Great Britain will also face Japan in the group stages of the United Cup. This means that Raducanu will also play against Maria Sakkari.
After the United Cup, Raducanu will play one more tournament in the run-up to the Australian Open – she will make her debut at the WTA 250 tournament in Hobart.
