Raducanu shot to fame after she won the 2021 US Open at the tender age of 18. She became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam tournament in the Open Era, and achieved that without dropping a single set over ten matches, progressing from the outside courts in Queens to a dream run that saw her lifting the trophy on Arthur Ashe.
Who else is coming to Abu Dhabi?
The main draw of confirmed players has been released, and top names that will be packing the roster include Kazakhstan’s 2022 Wimbledon champion, Elena Rybakina, fresh off a title win at the Brisbane International last weekend, World No. 8 Maria Sakkari of Greece and 2023 Dubai champion, Barbora Krejcikova, who has a career grand slam in the doubles format in addition to winning Olympic gold in Tokyo.
