Emma Raducanu has stated that she will participate in the upcoming WTA 1000 event in Doha, so it appears that she will be staying in the Middle East for one additional week.
The 2021 US Open champion made her debut at the Abu Dhabi Open this week, and she won her maiden match in the Middle East in the first round against Marie Bouzkova. However, she lost to Ons Jabeur on Wednesday.
Despite some worries about her ankle during her two-set loss against Jabeur, Raducanu’s condition doesn’t seem to be too significant, and she should be able to play again at the Qatar Open the following week.
When asked about her schedule after her loss, Raducanu replied: “Hopefully playing Doha. Then I go back and train and go to the States, hopefully as well.”
If she decides to compete in the February 11–17 Qatar Open, she may have another difficult draw as the unseeded player could go up against top-ranked players Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, and Jabeur in the opening round of the WTA 1000 tournament for 2024.
