Raducanu to qualify for WTA 500 tournament in Abu Dhabi

Casting for next week's WTA tournament in Abu Dhabi continues to be completed.

Following the announcement of the participation of several top 20 players such as Elena Rybakina, Jelena Ostapenko, Emma Navarro, Diana Shnaider, Paula Badosa, Beatriz Haddad Maia and Daria Kasatkina, Caroline Garcia has also received an invitation to take part in the event, which takes place in the United Arab Emirates.

And that's not all, as Emma Raducanu will also be taking part in the qualifying rounds. Up to 56th place, the Briton will be taking part in qualifying for the first time on the main circuit since the 2021 US Open.

At that time, and with no real reference at the top level, she created a surprise by winning the American Grand Slam without dropping a set in any of her ten matches in New York.
