Emma Raducanu's 2025 season was due to kick off in New Zealand.

Announced as part of the line-up for the Auckland tournament, the Briton finally withdrew from her scheduled opener this Tuesday against Robin Montgomery.

The 2021 US Open champion is the second former Grand Slam winner to announce her withdrawal from the tournament, after Simona Halep.

To justify her decision, the 22-year-old cited a back injury. Not the ideal preparation for the Australian Open for Raducanu, who was beaten in the 2nd round last year in Melbourne.

Mai Hontama replaced Raducanu in the draw. Montgomery eventually won 6-3, 2-6, 6-0 and will face another Japanese player in the next round, Nao Hibino.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
