Emma Raducanu’s next tournament: Opponents, venue, match schedule | ASB Classic  2023

Emma Raducanu concluded her 2022 season with a first-round exit at the Ostrava Open — only to take the court again at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship, where she squared off against Ons Jabeur.

The Brit showed plenty of fight but came up just short in the contest. Jabeur scored a tight 5-7 6-3 10-8 win — but both women won an echelon of new fans with their fighting performances. Addressing the crowd after the loss, Raducanu admitted to having a positive outlook ahead of the new year.

The Brit recently reflected on the last 12 months, which saw her drop out of the top 50 after failing to defend her US Open title, and spoke about her goals for 2023.

"I can’t quite believe we’re at that stage again – the last 12 months have gone so fast. My biggest goal in 2023 is to be more injury free. I just want to stay healthier for longer," Raducanu said ahead of the new season.
