Abu Dhabi Open: British tennis star Emma Raducanu receiving a wildcard for the preliminary stage of the Abu Dhabi Open and is set to enter a qualifying draw for the first time since her historic 2021 US Open victory.

The 22-year-old, who became the first qualifier in history to win a Grand Slam, will begin her campaign on Saturday when qualifying for the WTA 500 event begins.

Raducanu, currently ranked world number 56, is looking to regain momentum after a mixed start to her 2024 season. She reached the third round of the Australian Open but suffered a tough three-hour first-round loss to Cristina Bucsa at the Singapore Open earlier this week.
