Emma Raducanu is the seed no.1 in Guadalajara, where she will challenge top players such as Madison Keys, Sloane Stephens, and Sara Sorribes Tormo.
The British sensation is looking forward to being back to competitions after the Australian summer. When playing in the Australian Open second round, Emma was stopped by Danka Kovinic (and some nasty blisters). She decided not to compete in the Middle East in February (Dubai and Doha) to instead focus on competing in Mexico (Guadalajara and Monterrey) before heading to Indian Wells.
