British tennis star Emma Raducanu is taking a well-deserved break after a challenging end to her season. Recently, the 22-year-old was spotted enjoying the autumn season, grabbing a beer, and exploring a vineyard — moments she shared with fans on Instagram.
Raducanu had high hopes for her Asian swing earlier in the year, with tournaments in Seoul and Beijing among her favorites. However, the campaign didn’t go as planned. She lost close matches to Barbora Krejcikova and Jessica Pegula, missing out on match points in both encounters. Soon after, illness and a back injury forced her to retire from her match in Wuhan and exit early in Ningbo, effectively ending her season.
After officially wrapping up her 2025 season two weeks ago, Raducanu returned home to Great Britain, where she reportedly spent time in Kent, a scenic region in Southeastern England. Her recent posts suggest she’s making the most of her downtime before preparing for the new season.
Looking ahead, Raducanu has been confirmed to represent Team Great Britain alongside Jack Draper at the 2026 United Cup, which takes place from January 2 to 11 in Australia. It will be her first appearance at the mixed team event. “I’m honored to make my United Cup debut in January,” she said. “It’s always special to play for Team GB and experience a new format while representing my country.”
As the tournament offers ranking points, the world No. 29 is motivated to secure a seeding spot for the 2026 Australian Open — setting the stage for what could be a strong comeback season.
