It's been almost two years since Emma Raducanu's meteoric rise to tennis stardom after winning the 2021 US Open as a qualifier.
While she made a name for herself as one of the brightest young prospects in the sport, Raducanu has struggled to replicate that success in other WTA tournaments. Her ranking fell to 80th place in the WTA Rankings, which meant that she wasn't guaranteed a spot in the main draw of prestigious WTA 1000 events like the 2023 Miami Open.
However, as one of the fan favorites on the tour, Raducanu has often received wild cards for these events. After receiving one for the 2023 BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells, she has now been granted a wild card for the Miami Open as well.
This news comes as a breath of fresh air for the tennis world and Emma's fans. With her impressive performance in the US Open, many hoped that she would continue to dominate the sport. However, with injuries and lack of form, her journey has been bumpy so far. But this wild card gives her a chance to prove herself again and potentially earn some valuable ranking points.
The 'Sunshine Double' as the Masters' events in Indian Wells and Miami are called, are two of the biggest events in the tennis calendar, attracting the best players from around the world. Raducanu will be up against some tough competition, but her fans are excited to see her back on the court.
"Hey guys, it's Emma here. I'm really looking forward to coming to Miami for the Miami 2023 Open and I look forward to seeing you there."
