At the moment, Emma Raducanu is the rising star of tennis. The teenager from Great Britain has been living an unbelievable fairy-tale after her success at the US Open in September. Her story sounds too good to be true, winning a title in her second appearance at a Grand Slam.

As we speak about Emma Raducanu and have reached the final stages of the 2021 season, let’s look at the possibility of her making it to the season-ending WTA Finals in Mexico. It is possible that Raducanu could climb in rankings over the next few weeks.

Emma Raducanu faces less pressure at Indian Wells 

What Emma has working in her favour at Indian Wells is that other players need to put in solid performances at Indian Wells, or they risk falling down in the rankings. For example, Bianca Andreescu, the defending champion at Indian Wells from 2019, will lose a major chunk of points if she fails to go deep in the event. Besides, Angelique Kerber also has quite a few points to defend as she was the runner-up in 2019.

With a lot of potential movement, Raducanu could provisionally be into the top 20 before Indian Wells even before it starts. And as the competition is a WTA 1000 event, there are plenty of points for her to grab if she can manage a deep-run.

Opening for the teenager to capitalise on 

Both Barty and Osaka, who are in the top-10 may miss the finals, which could open up chances for two more players to compete in Mexico. If Raducanu were to win Indian Wells, she would move to 3282 points, which would be good enough for fifth place in the Race to the WTA Finals rankings.
