EXPERT PREDICTION: GREG RUSEDSKI BACKS EMMA RADUCANU TO RE-ENTER WTA TOP 20
Emma Raducanu ended 2025 at World No. 29 and is poised for an early 2026 surge. Analyst Greg Rusedski predicts a Top 20 finish, starting with the United Cup challenge.
Emma Raducanu made good progress in the WTA Rankings in 2025, and she'll have a chance to keep moving up early in 2026.
The Brit cut her ranking in half this year, ending 2025 as world No. 29, after being ranked 58th at the end of 2024. This is Raducanu’s best year-end ranking since 2021, a year she finished as world No. 19 after her US Open win.
Raducanu's current ranking of 29 is her highest since August 2022, before her US Open title points went away. She reached a career-high of world No. 10 in July 2022.
The 23-year-old had a 28-22 record from the 22 tournaments she played in 2025 and has 1,563 WTA ranking points.
Raducanu’s 2025 season started at the Australian Open after she had to withdraw from the WTA 250 tournament in Auckland because of a back injury.
So, she is not defending any points until the Australian Open, where she will be defending 130 points after reaching the third round this year.
This gives Raducanu a solid chance to get more points before the first Grand Slam of the season in Melbourne.
Raducanu will begin her 2026 season at the United Cup, a mixed team competition in Australia where she will be making her first appearance.
Players can earn up to 500 ranking points at the United Cup. Great Britain is in Group E with Japan and Greece.
In the current WTA Rankings, Raducanu is behind Sofia Kenin (No. 28) by 26 points, Dayana Yastremska (No. 27) by 41 points, Marta Kostyuk (No. 26) by 96 points, and Paula Badosa (No. 25) by 113 points.
If Raducanu plays well at the United Cup, she has a good chance to move up in the rankings since she doesn't have many points to defend.
Greg Rusedski has given Emma Raducanu a ranking target for 2026.
In an interview with Tennis365, former world No. 4 Greg Rusedski said he thinks Raducanu will get into the top 20 in 2026.
She has gotten back to where she is in the rankings without playing a full schedule, said the former British No. 1.
So, I think she will get back into the top 20 next year, and the challenge will be to go beyond that and win titles.
Tennis players tend to be on a. They start by winning smaller events, move up the rankings, and then compete for Grand Slams when they reach the top level.
Raducanu now needs to win tournaments. She needs to reach the finals. She hasn’t done that yet, and she needs to start by winning the smaller events on the main tour.
ANALYSIS: DID DOPING BAN & DAVIS CUP SNUB COST JANNIK SINNER THE TOP AWARD
Despite winning two Grand Slams and the ATP Finals, Jannik Sinner was snubbed for the Gazzetta Sportsman of the Year by Lorenzo Musetti. His doping ban and Davis Cup snub were key factors.
Jannik Sinner had a great 2025, grabbing two Grand Slams and the ATP Finals. He wrapped up the year ranked No. 2. Still, he didn't get the Sportsman of the Year award at the Gazzetta Sports Awards.
Even though he was out for three months because of a doping ban, Sinner was just behind Carlos Alcaraz in titles won this season. He took home six trophies, while Alcaraz won eight.
Besides his Australian Open, Wimbledon, and ATP Finals wins, the Italian also won the Paris Masters, China Open, and Vienna Open. He earned the most prize money in 2025, pocketing $19,120,641. The $5.071 million check he got at the Finals in Turin—the biggest prize in ATP Tour history—helped him beat Alcaraz ($18,803,427).
But it wasn't enough to win the Gazzetta Sports Award for the second year in a row. Fellow tennis player Lorenzo Musetti took home the trophy instead.
Musetti, ranked No. 8, didn't win any titles in 2025. But he was a runner-up at the Monte Carlo Masters, Chengdu Open, and Hellenic Championships. He also made it to the semi-finals at Roland Garros and the quarter-finals of the US Open.
The 23-year-old broke into the top 10, starting the year at No. 17 and reaching a career-high of No. 6 in June. He also played at the ATP Finals for the first time but was knocked out after the group stage.
This season has been amazing, with lots of firsts. "I got into the top 10, reached my first final in Monte Carlo, and made it to the Finals for the first time," Musetti said.
I've wanted to improve for a while now. Meeting Sinner and Alcaraz this year helped me see where I can get better. That's why I brought in coach [Jose] Perlas to work with [Simone] Tartarini. I hope this will help me take my career to the next level.
Sinner's ban for failing anti-doping tests in 2024 and his choice not to play at the Davis Cup Finals this year likely influenced La Gazzetta dello Sport's decision to give the award to Musetti.
After winning the Australian Open in January, Sinner was suspended for three months after testing positive for the banned substance clostebol in March 2024.
Later in the year, he stirred up controversy in Italy by not playing in the Davis Cup Finals in Bologna. He wanted a longer break after the 2025 season.
Gianni Valenti, the Italian publication's deputy director, asked Sinner in October to change his mind. He wrote, For any athlete, the national team should always come first. It's something special that brings the country together.
Repeating the success at the ATP Finals in Turin is important. But winning the Davis Cup would be even greater. We hope Jannik reconsiders. He has until November 17th to change his plans. It would mean a lot to his teammates, fans, and his image.
He finished. Think about it, Jannik. Great people know when to change a puzzling decision.
But Sinner didn't change his mind, and Musetti also pulled out due to personal and fitness problems.
The Italians still managed to defend their Davis Cup title, winning three in a row without their two biggest stars.
JUST WATCH: NICK KYRGIOS SAYS 'BATTLE OF THE SEXES' CONTROVERSY IS FREE HYPE
Nick Kyrgios dismisses critics of the 'Battle of the Sexes,' claiming the negativity only boosts the event's promotion. Sabalenka believes the match will uplift women's tennis.
Nick Kyrgios believes the controversy around the Battle of the Sexes is just helping promote the event. He's telling the critics to relax and have fun watching what he thinks will be a great show.
Some people are worried that if Sabalenka doesn't perform well against Kyrgios, it could hurt women's tennis. But Sabalenka, when speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, said that the match will instead help women's tennis.
Others have questioned why Sabalenka chose Kyrgios as her opponent for the match, which is set for December 28 in Dubai.
Kyrgios responded to the critics by saying, All the negativity toward the Battle of the Sexes is just getting it more attention. Aryna will be one of the best players ever, and I've entertained people all over the world. We're just two friends who want to put on a show and get more people interested in tennis. Forget all the other stuff—isn't this good for tennis? Just sit back and enjoy the show. We both like the challenge, even though we don't have much experience with something like this. Nobody cares what you think.
Sabalenka mentioned earlier that Kyrgios is in a tough spot since most of the pressure is on him.
