When is Emma Raducanu’s next match at Miami Open? Brit set for last 16 clash as impressive tournament run continues
Emma Raducanu is eyeing glory in the Miami Open this week and her impressive run in the tournament continues this evening. The 22-year-old booked her place in the last 16 of the event after progressing past McCartney Kessler who retired due to injury. Raducanu is through to the Miami Open last-16 for the first timeGetty Raducanu looked set to win the game after a 6-1 first-set victory, but Kessler’s withdrawal called time on the clash early. She is now preparing for a match at a stage she has failed to reach in a long time, with her last time playing in this round of any event coming in September 2024. When does Emma Raducanu play next? Raducanu will play in the Miami Open last 16 TONIGHT. She will face Amanda Anisimova for a place in the quarter-finals. This game is scheduled to be the third match of the day on Butch Buchholz Court in Miami Gardens, Florida. It is expected to get started at around 7pm UK time, but that will completely depend on the length of the matches before Raducanu’s. Reilly Opelka vs Tomas Machac is the first match on the Butch Buchholz at 3pm UK time before Qinwen Zheng takes on Ashlyn Krueger in the second. Raducanu then takes on Anisimova after that. Anisimova is the 17th seed in the Miami Open and she’s coming off the back of a huge win over 17-year-old sensation Mirra Andreeva. Andreeva, who has since sadly received some horrible abuse online, had won the last two WTA 1000 events, but her streak was brought to an end by Raducanu’s latest opponent.

That was her first career win against a top-ten seed on a hard court and she then followed that with another victory to reach the last 16. Speaking after her win over Kessler, who retired injured, Raducanu said: “I could tell something was up and it is hard to stay focused when your opponent is struggling. “I wish her a speedy recovery because she has been playing so well. “I am happy with my focus, it is such a big part of tennis. I haven’t been at this stage of a tournament for a while. “I returned really well and put pressure on the serve, imposing myself from the first game.” Raducanu’s Miami Open run comes after she ended her short partnership with coach Vladimir Platenik. She had lost five of her last six games, but now she’s eyeing glory after the change. “I think it’s a different approach this week,” she explained. “I think five minutes before the match I was playing spike ball with the team. It helps me to relax. “When I’m playing my best tennis I’m really expressing my personality. I’d say I’m a bit of a free spirit so I don’t need restrictions or being told what to do. “I think when I’m being really authentic, that’s when I’m playing my best.”
