Emma Raducanu’s Next Move After Madrid Open Exit: Play in Rome, French Open Qualifying, or Rest Until Grass Season?

Emma Raducanu’s early exit from the Madrid Open has left fans wondering about her next move. With options to play in Rome, French Open qualifying, or rest until the grass season, the young Brit has some decisions to make.

After a disappointing first-round defeat in Madrid, Raducanu’s clay-court form is in question. The Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome is just around the corner, but Raducanu has not yet secured a wildcard entry. She could potentially enter the qualifying stages with her protected ranking.

The French Open at Roland Garros is another possibility for Raducanu, but automatic entry into the main draw is not guaranteed. With her protected ranking of 103, she is fifth on the alternates list. However, she could choose to play in the qualifying rounds.

Colin Fleming and Anne Keothavong weighed in on Raducanu’s next steps, emphasizing the importance of making smart decisions moving forward. Fleming suggested that Raducanu should consider playing in Roland Garros qualifying, while Keothavong highlighted the benefits of taking a rest before the grass-court season.

With over 80 tournaments a year, including the US Open, available exclusively on Sky Sports Tennis, fans can stay up to date on Raducanu’s journey. Whether she chooses to play in Rome, French Open qualifying, or wait for the grass season, all eyes will be on the young star as she navigates her next move in the tennis world.
