Emma Raducanu has revealed a new hairstyle as she prepares for the 2026 tennis season. The former World No. 10 was photographed at a London salon holding a bouquet of flowers, showcasing her updated look. The change comes after a period of recovery following the conclusion of her 2025 campaign.
End of 2025 season
Raducanu’s last competitive appearance was at the Ningbo Open, where she lost in the first round to wild card Zhu Lin. Afterward, she was scheduled to participate in exhibition events in Miami and Newark in December 2025 but withdrew due to light bone bruising in her right foot. The decision allowed her to take time off to rest and recuperate before returning to the tour.
Hairstylist’s reveal
London-based Italian hairstylist Nicola Noviello shared images and a video of Raducanu’s new look on social media. The posts showed her smiling and visibly happy with the transformation. Noviello’s work highlighted a stylish cut that adds a fresh dimension to Raducanu’s appearance as she prepares for the challenges of the upcoming season.
Looking forward to 2026
The new hairstyle symbolizes a refreshed start for Raducanu, who has faced both highs and setbacks since her breakthrough at the 2021 U.S. Open. Fans will be eager to see how she performs in 2026, with her renewed energy and confidence reflected not only in her game but also in her off-court presence.
