At 22 years old, Emma Raducanu continues to make great strides on the circuit with her tennis, although she is still far from her best level. The British tennis player, currently ranked 29th in the world, arrives at the WTA Wuhan 2025 without much pressure, beyond her own expectations to finish the season as best as possible.
Raducanu herself revealed that her main goal at the moment is to progress as much as possible to secure the best seed for the Australian Open 2026, the first Grand Slam of the next season. She has a great opportunity with the points that are at stake this week at the WTA Wuhan 2025.
- Emma Raducanu explains the impact she wants to have on younger players
"It's interesting to think that I've had that impact. It's very nice to be reminded that you are inspiring younger kids to play, and it's easy to lose sight of those things because one can get too absorbed in their own world, but that's a great achievement for me, inspiring young children, and that's why I want to continue setting a good example on the court, with a good attitude," Raducanu said in comments reported by Tennis365.
"I know that other players sometimes get upset or lose their cool, and it's inevitable that occasionally you don't feel great and need to step up, but I always remind myself that I should try to maintain the best possible image, because you never know who is watching me, and I don't want to set a bad example for younger generations."
"In those moments, after losing a match, honestly, you don't think about others, you're just very focused on the opportunity you had and let slip away. Then, when the situation calms down a bit and you can look back at what you achieved, what you put on the court, and see that you gave your best, that you tried everything."
- Raducanu's goal for 2026
"One of my goals for the next few weeks is to try to be seeded in Australia and do everything possible to achieve it. The higher you get as a seed, the better. You might have a better chance of progressing, but still, you can be seeded and play against one of the best players.
It really depends on luck. It's simply about doing the best you can in that situation to have more opportunities. I'm pleased with the improvements I've made in my game in recent weeks, and I just want to keep going like this."
