Emma Raducanu received a wild card to play the WTA 125 in Chicago. However, the upcoming British player had a rather unfortunate draw since she will play against the seed number 1 Alison Van Uytvanck in her opening match.
Emma had an interesting experience in her last tournament in Landisville. After winning 4 consecutive matches, she had to withdraw in the quarterfinals for heat exhaustion.
Apparently, Emma is in good shape and she will regularly play in Chicago.
This is the draw.
