With the 2025 Australian Open just around the corner, Emma Raducanu has shared her prediction for the women’s singles champion, sparking excitement among fans and tennis pundits. While Raducanu is not competing this year due to her recovery, she hasn’t shied away from offering her thoughts on who could dominate the tournament.
In a recent interview, the 2021 US Open champion named Coco Gauff as her pick for the 2025 AO women’s title. Raducanu, who has faced Gauff on the court in the past, praised the young American’s maturity, determination, and rapid improvement over the last few seasons.
“I think Coco has all the tools to take the title this year,” Raducanu said. “Her consistency, powerful groundstrokes, and mental resilience make her a formidable opponent. She’s been evolving so much, and I truly believe she’s ready for her first Australian Open victory.”
Gauff, who is currently ranked in the top 10 and has been a standout performer on the WTA Tour, has impressed with her incredible work ethic and big-match mentality. After a breakout 2023 season, many expect Gauff to continue her rise, and Raducanu’s endorsement only adds weight to the growing buzz around her.
Though Raducanu’s pick is Gauff, she acknowledged that the 2025 women’s draw will be packed with tough competitors. With top players like Iga Świątek, Aryna Sabalenka, and Jessica Pegula also in great form, the tournament promises to be an exciting and unpredictable one.
Raducanu’s prediction also highlights her continued respect for the next generation of tennis stars. As she recovers and prepares to return to the court, she remains closely connected to the tennis scene, offering her insights and excitement for the future of the sport.
As the Australian Open approaches, all eyes will be on the women’s draw to see if Raducanu’s prediction will become a reality. Whether Gauff claims the title or another rising star shines, 2025 promises to be a thrilling year for women’s tennis.
