Raducanu has featured at the Auckland tournament for the past two years, reaching the last-16 on both occasions. The 21-year-old says she will spend Christmas with a friend who lives in Auckland.
She will be swapping her roast turkey with a cosy barbecue on the New Zealand.

It means Raducanu will get some down time before the tournament begins on December 30. Last year, she was defeated by Elena Svitolina. Twelve months prior, she was knocked out by Viktoria Hruncakova.
Raducanu enjoyed a storming start to the year and impressed during the grass-court season. She even reached the fourth round at Wimbledon, her best run at a Grand Slam since she won the US Open in 2021.
However, successive injuries have disrupted her season since. She has only played in three tournaments since she shone at Wimbledon and has been unable to break the WTA’s top 50 despite storming up the rankings in the months before.
