Emma Raducanu plots 'heavy' schedule for remainder of 2024

Emma Raducanu plots 'heavy' schedule for remainder of 2024

Emma Raducanu is planning to play a lot of matches until the end of the year.

The British ace is currently competing at the Korea Open and she is going to have a "heavy" schedule in Asia in the coming weeks as she looks to make up for a summer that saw her miss both the French Open and Paris Olympics and improve on her world ranking of 70.

Raducanu told WTA Insider: "I always knew there was a really long block in Asia at the end of the year and I didn't want to overdo myself in the first half of the year.

"If you look at the tournaments I played it was relatively light. I skipped quite a few weeks over the clay knowing that I'm at the stage where I'm not trying to win every event on the clay, on the grass and hard.

"I have to prioritise and Asia was one of those for me. So I stacked the year on the backend heavy, because I'm excited. I thrive in Asia. It's where I truly feel like home. So I'm buzzing for that trip even though it's at the end of the year. I'm looking forward to going out there and trying to take it."

Raducanu's lack of matches has been pinpointed as a reason for her lack of success since her famous win at the US Open in 2021 and it is something she is determined to atone for in the coming months.

She said: "I think the rest of the year, as long as I'm healthy I'm going to try and finish the season and play as many matches as I can.

"It's something I'm really light on since the grass through the DC period. I've not played many points, even in practice."
