The announcement was made on Wednesday by the tournament organizers.<\/p>\n<p>At the Auckland Classic on Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2023\/10\/emma-raducanu-reveals-high-standards-for-coaches\/\">Raducanu<\/a> made her comeback and defeated Elena-Gabriela Ruse. Her protected ranking was insufficient for direct entry into the Australian Open, and she fell to number 301 in the world while sidelined by surgery on her ankle and wrist.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old did not receive a wildcard either, and her journey to the 2021 US Open, where she became the first player in the Open Era to win a grand slam title after beginning in the qualifying rounds, was anticipated to be similar.<\/p>\n<p>But with Karolina Muchova, Petra Kvitova, Irina-Camelia Begu, and Caty McNally also withdrawing, Davis\u2019 withdrawal made room for Raducanu in the main draw of the major on January 14\u201328.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel reborn in a way. I feel fresh, ready, happy, excited. Overall I\u2019m feeling positive and lighter. I actually think I\u2019m a better tennis player than I was before the break. In practice over the last few weeks, I\u2019m hitting the ball really well,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2023\/03\/emma-raducanu-suffers-injury-setback-amid-miami-open-loss\/\">Raducanu\u00a0<\/a>remarked earlier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhysically I\u2019m pushing things that I wasn\u2019t doing before. In my body, I actually have confidence, which is really nice, and tennis-wise I feel good, too. It was so hard, especially the first few months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re so used to being active and moving around all the time, then to all of a sudden have everything just cut off from you. I had two wrists and one foot injured, so I couldn\u2019t even use crutches. It was difficult being that immobile. But it reignited the fire to get back out there competing.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/FotoJet-2024-01-02T162727.002-254x144.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Raducanu wins the first match after coming from long hiatus\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Emma Raducanu wins the first match after coming from long hiatus<\/h5>\n<p>Raducanu wins the comeback match vs. Ruse.
