At the airport, Emma Raducanu was all smiles as she rushed to pose with a massive HSBC poster featuring herself, emblazoned with fitting motivational words as the Brit gears up to make a strong start to her 2025 season.

"Can you be the champion of coming back stronger?" the poster read.

Raducanu ended her 2024 season at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, where she played an instrumental role in leading Great Britain to the semifinals before their loss to eventual runner-up Slovakia.

After working hard during the pre-season, Emma Raducanu is heading into the ASB Classic with an air of confidence. In a recent interview with the Independent, the Brit disclosed that she felt her game was in a good place and emphasized her eagerness to live up to her potential.

"Also with my tennis, I’m in a pretty good spot. I feel like I just want to see how much I can do, fulfil my potential. I’m curious about what my level can get to," Raducanu said.

During the aforementioned interview, Emma Raducanu also disclosed her desire to compete in more tournaments in the 2025 season. Having joined forces with fitness trainer Yutaka Nakamura, who previously worked with Maria Sharapova and Naomi Osaka, and continued her partnership with her childhood mentor Nick Cavaday, the Brit expressed satisfaction with her coaching setup.

Raducanu also emphasized her intention to focus on her physical conditioning to avoid the injuries that have plagued her in previous years.

"I want to play more than I did this year. I think now, with my set-up, I’m in a place where I can continue work on the road. So I don’t necessarily need to come back to continue good physical work," Raducanu said.

"I can do it pretty much every day, like microdoses. And I think that’s actually going to be a great addition for me next year, which I’m excited about," she added. "I really want to play more. And I think a big part of that is just staying healthy."

Emma Raducanu will feature in a star-studded lineup at the 2025 ASB Classic, with Naomi Osaka, Madison Keys, Sloane Stephens, Amanda Anisimova, and Sofia Kenin also battling it out for the WTA 250 title.
