Emma Raducanu gives update on her next tournament with Indian Wells and Kremlin Cup coming up as US Open champion back in training

Emma Raducanu has revealed she will make a decision in the coming few days over which tournament she will play next.

All eyes will be on when the US Open winner will take the court next after her brilliant run to the Grand Slam title at Flushing Meadows.

There are plenty of tournaments coming up between now and the WTA Tour finals in November.

The most prestigious is Indian Wells, which starts on October 4 in California, and Raducanu has been tipped to receive a wildcard.

The Bromley teenager is ranked 22nd in the world after winning the US Open, which would normally be enough to get into tournaments like that, but entry for Indian Wells was taken on the rankings before the Flushing Meadows.

She has entered the Kremlin Cup next month as well, but was still coy when asked about her next tournament.

Speaking at the National Tennis Centre, she said: “I will decide in the next few days where I’m going to go next. I haven’t had that much time to switch off and rest.

“I love what I do. Back training is where I want to be and where I go next I will make sure I’m ready to play and compete.”

She was given a homecoming at the National Tennis Centre where she took the court with Kate Middleton.

When asked if she was more nervous facing the Duchess of Cambridge or her final opponent Leylah Fernandez, she said: “I was actually very nervous playing the Duchess. I was saying ‘don’t miss, don’t miss’.

“I think playing Leylah was such a cool experience because throughout the tournament we were beating players we weren’t expected to beat, so we had no pressure.

“Playing each other in the final is a completely different matchup, but out on the court it felt like any other match and any other opponent at the other end.”
