Stay up to speed with the latest news and results as British tennis star Emma Raducanu looks to find form in 2025.

Where is Raducanu playing next?

Emma Raducanu will miss next week’s Berlin Open because of a back problem, as she tries to get ready for Wimbledon.

The new British No 1 has been dealing with the back issue since before the French Open last month.

She took an off-court medical timeout during her quarterfinal loss at Queen’s Club to Olympic champion Qinwen Zheng on Friday.

“I’m not overly concerned that it’s something serious,” the 2021 US Open champion said, “but I know it’s something that’s very annoying and needs proper and careful management.”

Raducanu had elected to play in the German capital rather than Nottingham after being offered a wild card into the WTA 500 event, which is set to feature nine of the world’s top 10.

Raducanu’s decision means she will miss out on being seeded for her home Grand Slam but she is understood to be confident of playing in the Lexus Eastbourne Open the week before Wimbledon.

Raducanu has entered the WTA 500 Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington from July 29-August 4 where she will make her third appearance at the hard-court event in preparation for the US Open.

The Grand Slam dates are locked in for the rest of the year, with Raducanu due to compete at Wimbledon (June 30-July 13) and the US Open at Flushing Meadows (August 25-September 7) – live on Sky Sports Tennis.

What is Raducanu’s current ranking?

Raducanu returns to British No 1 after overtaking Katie Boulter following her run to the quarter-finals at Queen’s Club (world No 36).

She needs to be in the top 32 to seal a seeding for Wimbledon, and her current rise heading into the grass-swing will significantly boost those hopes.

Her career-high ranking was No 10, back in July 2022.

Who is Raducanu’s coach?

Raducanu is currently being coached by former British No 1 Mark Petchey.

She took a break from the WTA Tour following her run to the Miami Open quarter-finals and instead took part in a training block with Petchey – who had helped her in Florida – ahead of the clay-court swing, working on her serve.

Raducanu has been without a permanent coach since parting ways with Nick Cavaday in January. Before adding Petchey to her team, the British tennis star had a two-week trial period with Vladimir Platenik.

Petchey has previously coached former world No 1 Andy Murray into the world’s top 50.

How has Raducanu’s 2025 gone so far?

Raducanu began her 2025 campaign at the Australian Open where she reached the third round, losing to Iga Swiatek in straight sets.

The British No 2 returned to action at the Singapore Open where she lost a gruelling three-hour battle to world No 101 Cristina Bucsa from Spain in the first round.

Further disappointing first-round losses followed in the space of a week, first in Abu Dhabi against former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova and then to Ekaterina Alexandrova in Qatar.

She snapped a four-match losing streak with victory over former world No 3 Maria Sakkari in the first round of the Dubai Tennis Championships, only to fall to a straight-sets loss against Karolina Muchova in the next round, where she was targeted by a stalker.

Raducanu returned to action at Indian Wells in March, losing in the first round to Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima before putting together a superb run in Miami.

But Raducanu recorded her best result in a WTA 1000 event when she reached the quarter-finals of the Miami Open in March, weeks on from being knocked out in the first round at Indian Wells.

Raducanu pulled out of Great Britain’s team for the Billie Jean King Cup qualifying round with ties scheduled against Netherlands and Germany which Britain won to reach the Finals later this year.

Her clay-court season began at the Madrid Open, where she impressively recorded a straight-sets win over Suzan Lamens in the opening round before losing out to Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk in a competitive 6-4 2-6 6-2 second-round match.

Raducanu beat Maya Joint, Jil Teichmann and Veronika Kudermetova before falling short against fourth seed Coco Gauff in the last 16 of the Italian Open in Rome.

At the Strasbourg Open, Raducanu defeated world No 17 Daria Kasatkina in what was her first career win over a top-20 player on clay, but then needed treatment on her back during a 4-6 6-1 6-3 loss to Danielle Collins at the last-16 stage.

At the French Open, Raducanu opened her campaign with a first-round victory over China’s Wang Xinyu but then suffered a second-round defeat to four-time French Open champion Iga Swiatek, losing 6-1 6-2.

At Queen’s Club, Raducanu defeated Cristina Bucșa 6-1 6-2 and Rebecca Sramkova 6-4 6-1 to make the quarter-finals before bowing out to top seed Qinwen Zheng 6-2 6-4.

How many Grand Slam titles has Raducanu won?

So far, the 2021 US Open victory remains Raducanu’s sole victory in a major tournament.

She reached the fourth round in Wimbledon that year – a feat she matched in 2024 and might have bettered were it not for injury – but at the Australian and French Opens, she has never progressed beyond the second round.
