Emma Raducanu has shared her biggest aim for 2025 as she gets ready to return to tennis

Emma Raducanu is setting her sights on a brighter 2025 as she prepares for her return to competitive tennis following a challenging year. Despite injuries limiting her participation in 2024 to fewer than 16 events, the 22-year-old made significant strides, re-entering the WTA top 100 and climbing to a year-end ranking of 58.

Raducanu achieved her best Grand Slam result since her historic 2021 US Open victory, reaching the fourth round of Wimbledon before bowing out in a hard-fought match against Lulu Sun. She also advanced to the quarter-finals of the Citi Open, showcasing glimpses of her potential.

However, her season ended prematurely due to a foot injury sustained at the Korea Open, leaving her motivated to focus on fitness and consistency in the coming year.

As she looks ahead, Raducanu has set a clear goal for 2025: staying healthy and competing in more events to maximize her ranking potential. Speaking at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, she emphasized her determination to improve her fitness and athleticism, areas she believes remain untapped strengths.

Speculation about hiring fitness coach Yutaka Nakamura, who formerly worked with Maria Sharapova, has fueled optimism about her future. While Raducanu has remained non-committal on the coaching front, her commitment to growth and resilience shines through.

With her sights set on personal improvement and contributing to Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup campaign, Raducanu is eager to reclaim her status as one of the sport’s brightest talents.
