## Key points

- Raducanu is set to return at the United Cup in January 2027.
- She has been sidelined since June with a shin stress fracture.
- A special ranking of 38 will help her enter major tournaments.

## Summary

Emma Raducanu will return to competitive tennis for Britain at the United Cup in Australia in the first week of 2027, after missing Wimbledon and the US Open with a shin stress fracture. The 2021 US Open champion has not played since June, and the delayed comeback allows her to enter tournaments using a special ranking.

Her approved ranking of 38 reflects her position after Wimbledon and can be used for eight events next year, including two Grand Slams and five WTA 1000 tournaments. Her current ranking of 107 would probably leave her outside the main draw at the Australian Open and several other events. Britain’s 18-team United Cup campaign runs from 1 to 10 January; Raducanu is set to play alongside Arthur Fery in a group with Australia and France.
