Emma Raducanu has enjoyed a mixed start to her 2025 season, having most recently played at the Miami Open.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Raducanu<\/a> has climbed to 47th in the WTA Tour<\/a> rankings, some way off her career-high of 10th back in 2022.<\/p>\n

But fitness issues have once again disrupted her progress, with Raducanu withdrawing from Team GB<\/a> for their Billie Jean King Cup<\/a> qualifiers.<\/p>\n

Tim Henman says Raducanu needs to build her physical resilience<\/a>, with the 22-year-old having been severely hampered by injury in her career so far.<\/p>\n

She did, however, enjoy a breakthrough tournament last month, when the Briton reached the Miami Open quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

And the former has been taking time to focus on matters away from her own game, having just seen Great Britain qualify for the Billie Jean King Cup finals.<\/p>\n

What is Emma Raducanu\u2019s WTA ranking history?<\/p>\n

Great Britain have now secured a spot in the finals in Shenzhen, with that event taking place in mid-September.<\/p>\n

They previously defeated Germany 2-1, before the likes of Boulter and Sonay Kartal helped secure a win over the Netherlands via the same scoreline.<\/p>\n

Kartal won her opener before Boulter suffered defeat, with the latter then pairing with Jodie Burrage to book Great Britain\u2019s place in the finals.<\/p>\n

Raducanu does not know her next tournament<\/a>, with her win-loss record in 2025 currently sitting level at 7-7.<\/p>\n\nDate<\/strong><\/td>\nTop rank by year<\/strong><\/td>\nYear-end ranking<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2025<\/td>\n47<\/td>\n\u2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2024<\/td>\n54<\/td>\n58<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2023<\/td>\n68<\/td>\n285<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2022<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2021<\/td>\n19<\/td>\n19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2020<\/td>\n333<\/td>\n343<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2019<\/td>\n371<\/td>\n503<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2018<\/td>\n572<\/td>\n692<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The 2021 US Open champion is, however, seemingly on the right track, with her future looking as bright as it has in recent memory.<\/p>\n

Remarkably, her only career WTA title to date arrived at the US Open, but another title may not be too far away after her recent return to the world\u2019s top 50.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emma Raducanu has enjoyed a mixed start to her 2025 season, having most recently played at the Miami…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17296,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4105],"tags":[10339,1070,79,1068,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-17295","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-billie-jean-king-cup","9":"tag-emma-raducanu","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114332302287055033","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17295\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
