While her opponents for those tournaments remain unknown, the world No 77 has already been drawn to face world No 62 Kovinic in the opening round of Indian Wells. Further down the line, Raducanu has the most points to defend on the clay with 100 from last year’s Stuttgart quarter-final showing and 120 from making the last 16 in Madrid. And it will be even more difficult for Raducanu to rack up the points as she was one of the seeds this time a year ago, meaning she got a bye directly into the second round which guaranteed her at least 10 ranking points - the scenario from last year’s Miami Open.īut this time around, she will need to win three matches in Indian Wells and one in Miami to equal the points she earned last year just from having one victory across both tournaments. Although the All England Cub would have no problem giving Raducanu a wildcard if she fails to make the cut, it will be seen as something as a fall from grace for the woman who was ranked No 10 just nine months ago and won the US Open in 2021.
