But sadly for Raducanu - who battled a back injury at the start of 2025 - she didn't manage to take advantage of a favorable draw as her run in the Asian event lasted only match after world No. 101 Cristina Bucsa upset her 5-7 7-5 7-5.

Emma Raducanu's campaign at the inaugural Singapore Tennis Open ended earlier than expected, as the British star fell to Spain’s Cristina Busca in a gripping first-round clash.

Nevertheless, Raducanu remains undaunted while facing myriad challenges. She shared her first update after the Singapore Open to her 2.5 million Instagram followers on Wednesday.
