Former World No. 10 Emma Raducanu will take on Karolina Pliskova in the first round of the Madrid Open 2024.
Raducanu will make her second appearance in the Madrid Open on April 24. She will enter the WTA 1000 event on the back of a solid quarterfinal finish in Stuttgart, where she lost to Iga Swiatek. Despite a spirited performance against the World No. 1, Raducanu went down in straight sets, 7-6(2), 6-3.
The 21-year-old has raised her level on tour in the last couple of months. She first garnered a third-round finish in the Indian Wells 2024 and then secured consecutive wins in the Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers against France. She outfoxed the likes of Diane Parry and Caroline Garcia to secure a final berth for her country Great Britain in the BJK Cup 2024.
