Read our privacy policy Emma Raducanu has taken a wild card into the WTA tournament in Abu Dhabi next week and will play in qualifying for the first time since winning the US Open. Raducanu famously became the first qualifier ever to win a grand slam title in New York in 2021, catapulting her to stardom and making her a prime candidate for receiving wild cards into the biggest events. At the French Open last year, Raducanu pulled out shortly before she had been due to compete in qualifying, preferring to do a training block ahead of the grass-court season. Qualifying in Abu Dhabi begins on Saturday and the world number 56 will bid to secure a place in the main draw alongside the likes of defending champion Elena Rybakina and Australian Open semi-finalist Paula Badosa.
