TIME RUNNING OUT: EMMA RADUCANU FACES RACE FOR FITNESS AFTER CRASHING OUT OF UNITED CUP
Emma Raducanu loses to Maria Sakkari at the United Cup. Can she fix her forehand and recover from a foot bruise for Melbourne?
Emma Raducanu will likely be seeded at the next Australian Open, but she needs to work hard on the practice court if she wants to prove she deserves that spot.
The season started with Raducanu losing to Maria Sakkari, even though Raducanu had won all four of their previous matches.
This match was part of the United Cup, a mixed-team event. Great Britain barely beat Japan in their first match, but Raducanu's 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 loss meant a 2-0 defeat to Greece, knocking them out of the tournament.
There are reasons to cut her some slack. This is Raducanu’s fifth time at the Australian Open, but she's never arrived with a good amount of training behind her.
In 2022, she had COVID before the event. In 2023, she hurt her ankle in Auckland. In 2024, she was rusty after a nine-month break because of wrist surgery. Last year, she was dealing with a bad back spasm that made her miss three weeks of off-season practice.
This time, Raducanu spent part of her winter break in Barcelona with her new coach, Francis Roig. But she couldn't train as hard as she wanted because of a foot bruise that started before Christmas and kept her out of the match against Japan.
She and Roig have also been changing her forehand. The swing is now a bit higher and longer. We'll have to see if that gives her more power on that side, which has always been her weaker one.
Since she became famous in New York five years ago, Raducanu has been trying to fix her forehand without feeling completely happy with it. She hasn't been able to recapture the amazing timing and flow she had during her US Open win in 2021. But back then, she wasn't feeling any pressure or expectations.
In the first set of her recent match, Raducanu looked unsure and weak, like someone testing out new techniques. She was just hitting the ball back, letting Sakkari control the game with her strong shots. Sakkari had beaten Naomi Osaka.
If the whole match had been like that, it would be worrying. But Raducanu played with more power at the end of the second set. She made Sakkari work harder for a while. Her coach will probably just tell her to play more like that and less like she did in the first set.
After missing a couple of break points in the third game, Raducanu's play dropped off again. She seemed to run out of energy. She looked like she wanted to finish the match as fast as possible.
While some might see this as an excuse, it makes sense. The United Cup wasn't Raducanu's main goal for her trip to Australia. She went to Perth to get ready and got a good three-set workout. She usually plays her best at the bigger events.
Last year's Australian Open shows this. She should have lost in the first round because of back spasms.
Despite her rough start, she still beat Ekaterina Alexandrova and Amanda Anisimova before losing to Iga Swiatek. Raducanu often had tough opponents last season: all three of these players ended 2025 in the world’s top 10.
In the first match of Great Britain’s match with Greece, Billy Harris played well against Stefanos Tsitsipas. He almost won what would have been the biggest win of his career, but lost in a tie-break.
Meanwhile, Fran Jones won her match against Emma Navarro at the event in Auckland. It was only her second win against a top-50 player.
Finally, there's some good news for Jack Draper, who broke into the top five last season. He was named to the British Davis Cup team to face Norway next month.
Jacob Fearnley and Cameron Norrie will also be there, so Draper can decide later if he's ready to play his first competitive match since the US Open in August.
Draper has had a bone bruise in his elbow for over six months and recently withdrew from the Australian Open.
DOHA DISASTER: IGA SWIATEK AND ELENA RYBAKINA BOTH CRASH OUT IN QUARTER-FINAL SHOCKERS
Massive upsets in Doha! Maria Sakkari stuns Iga Swiatek while teen Victoria Mboko takes down Rybakina. Read the full analysis.
World number two Iga Swiatek and Australian Open champ Elena Rybakina both made early exits from the Qatar Open on February 12, falling in the quarter-finals to Maria Sakkari and Victoria Mboko.
Swiatek, the top seed and defending champ, started strong; she broke Sakkari twice in the first set and looked on track for another easy win. But Sakkari, who’s had a tough stretch lately, dug in. She fought back, grabbing a tense 2-6, 6-4, 7-5 win. Afterward, Sakkari admitted, “It’s been a while since I had a big win like today.” She used to be ranked as high as No. 3 in the world back in 2022 but has slipped all the way down to 52. “When you drop in the rankings and you’re not playing good tennis, you start doubting yourself. You think you’re never going to beat those players again,” she said. “So it’s a huge process you have to go through in your head that you can do it.”
Sakkari, 30, had beaten Swiatek three times earlier in their careers, but not since 2021. Swiatek had won their last four matches, including a straight-sets victory in Qatar last year. “Last year, in the second round here against her, I was not confident; I was not believing in myself, and this year it’s different. I feel a lot better,” Sakkari said. She’ll now play either Karolina Muchova or Anna Kalinskaya in the semi-finals. “I’ve missed that feeling of going deep into tournaments.”
Swiatek, who dominated this event in 2022, 2023, and 2024, looked ready to do it again. But after dropping the first set, Sakkari found something extra. She broke early in the second set, and even though Swiatek kept responding, Sakkari steadied herself, broke again, and took the set. For the first time in their seven matches, they went to a deciding set. It was back-and-forth—Swiatek saved a match point, but Sakkari served out the win, finally sealing it on her third chance. The match lasted just under two and a half hours.
Right after that, Victoria Mboko kept her hot streak going. She beat Rybakina 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 in a match that was only six minutes shorter than the Sakkari-Swiatek battle. Mboko had already beaten Rybakina once this year, in the Montreal semi-finals, and she came out swinging again, breaking Rybakina’s serve three times in the first set. She dropped her own serve twice but still took the set. Rybakina bounced back to grab the second, but the 19-year-old Canadian had the edge in the third and closed it out 6-4.
Mboko, who lost to world number one Aryna Sabalenka in Melbourne a few weeks ago, now faces Jelena Ostapenko in the Doha semis. Ostapenko, the 2017 French Open champ and last year’s runner-up, made it through by beating Elisabetta Cocciaretto 7-5, 6-4.
ELITE CLUB: SEBASTIAN KORDA HITS 150 ATP WINS TO JOIN CARLOS ALCARAZ AND JANNIK SINNER
Sebastian Korda secures his 150th ATP win in Dallas. Discover the six stars born after 2000 who are chasing Sinner and Alcaraz.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are still running the show on the ATP Tour, but they’re not the only young guns making waves. Four other players born after 2000 have now reached 150 career wins, joining the exclusive club right behind the top two.
Sinner leads the pack with a massive 326 ATP wins, leaving Alcaraz in second with 287. These two haven’t just piled up the numbers, either—they’ve basically owned the Grand Slams lately, splitting the last nine majors between them.
Even so, this generation isn’t just a two-man race. Sebastian Korda made headlines at the Dallas Open by picking up his 150th ATP win against Michael Zheng. That puts him in the same bracket as Alcaraz and Sinner. Felix Auger-Aliassime sits just behind the top two with 270 wins, then comes Lorenzo Musetti at 184 and Holger Rune with 175.
Let’s be honest right now, Alcaraz and Sinner are still the players everyone’s chasing. But with both of them sitting out this week, the door’s wide open for someone else to step up. Korda, Taylor Fritz, and Ben Shelton are all battling it out at a Dallas Open packed with American talent. Meanwhile, Alex de Minaur and Auger-Aliassime are among the big names at the Rotterdam Open.
Take a look at the last nine Grand Slam winners, and it’s pretty much a Sinner-Alcaraz highlight reel:
Australian Open: 2024 Sinner, 2025 Sinner, 2026 Alcaraz
French Open: 2024 Alcaraz, 2025 Alcaraz
Wimbledon: 2024 Alcaraz, 2025 Sinner
US Open: 2024 Sinner, 2025 Alcaraz
Of course, there’s always hope that players like Rune and Jack Draper can mix things up, but Rune’s currently injured, and Draper’s just getting back after a long layoff. Then you have rising talents like Learner Tien and Joao Fonseca, both recent Next Gen ATP Finals champs, just like Alcaraz and Sinner were earlier in their careers, who might be the next to challenge the big two. The race is on, but for now, Alcaraz and Sinner are still setting the pace.
