Emma Raducanu will make her return to tennis in the United Cup team competition in Australia in the first week of 2027.

Britain's 2021 US Open champion has not played since June because of a stress fracture of the shin.

Raducanu was beaten by Croatia’s Donna Vekic in her first grass-court final at Queen's Club on 14 June, but had to pull out of Wimbledon on the eve of her opening match just 14 days later.
