Emma Raducanu has been handed another daunting draw in her latest comeback event, which may inspire a debate over the tournaments she is entering.
The 2021 US Open champion made an encouraging return to action as she played at WTA events in Aukland and then won a round at the Australian Open.
Her performances in those matches were ahead of expectations after the 21-year-old stepped away from the court last April to undergo surgery on both of her wrists and her ankle.
After her exit in Melbourne, Raducanu hinted she may play lower-level events to improve her ranking and find her feet back on the tour after a long time in recovery during 2023.

I’m more focused on level and the practice days, trying to win the day rather than focusing more on win or loss at this stage,” she said.
“I know the difference between me playing okay and me playing good or me playing great are just really, really in the details, like doing a few things just 5% better. I think it makes a huge difference.
“I’m feeling very positive. I really just want to play a full season. The encouraging thing is, even though I played two back-to-back three-setters in Auckland, a three-setter today, body-wise, strength-wise, I didn’t come up with any random niggles.
