Raducanu was encouraged by her performances at the end of 2024.

Her Billie Jean King Cup finals matches was her first since retiring from her Korea Open quarter-final against Daria Kasatkina in September.

She claimed wins over Jule Niemeier, Rebewcca Marino and Viktoria Hruncakova in Malaga, but Great Britain were eliminated in the semi-finals.

But looking ahead to 2025, Raducanu warned her rivals that she plans to be a thorn in their side on a more consistent basis.

“My assessment is, I think sometimes I need reminding. I’m top 60 in the world and I have played less than 15 events, which is pretty unheard of, in a way,” Raducanu said via the WTA website.

“I have to pat myself on the back for that. I know I’m a dangerous player. I know no one wants to pull my name in the draw. I take pride in that, and I’m looking forward to hopefully staying on court longer next year.”
