Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu's schedules: Where and when do British pair play next after Australian Open?

Where do Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu play next after the Australian Open and what are their schedules? Will they both play Indian Wells and the Miami Open? Murray showed positive signs in reaching the third round in Melbourne but has pulled out of his next tournament in Rotterdam to give himself extra time to recover. Raducanu, meanwhile, is set to return to the tour in February.

Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu didn’t make deep runs at the Australian Open but there were positives for both British players ahead of the rest of the 2023 season.

Former world No. 1 Murray showed that his stamina and fitness have improved from the back end of last season as he came through two long five-set matches before losing in the third round.

Raducanu, who went into the Australian Open with concerns over an ankle injury, won her opening match in straight sets before losing to seventh seed Coco Gauff.

So where do Murray and Raducanu head now after the Australian Open?

Murray chooses rest over Rotterdam

After being “downbeat” with his performances and his fitness at the end of 2022, Murray left the Australian Open in a far more positive state of mind.

He looked physically strong in the first two rounds and played some good tennis to get on top in points. While his efforts took their toll in the third-round loss to Roberto Bautista Agut, Murray’s displays seem to bode well for the future.

“I felt good about the way that I was playing,” he said after losing in four sets to Bautista Agut.

“It’s more enjoyable for me when I’m playing like that, when I’m coming into a major event and really believing that I can do some damage.

“But yeah, I can have a deeper run than the third round of a Slam, there’s no question about that. Obviously, draws can open up for you. I need to also help myself with that. If I was playing at this level last year, I probably wouldn’t be ranked 50, 60 in the world. It’s up to me to try and change that.”

Murray has spoken regularly over the last year about wanting to improve his ranking to see if he can get a seeded spot at Grand Slams, which should help him get better draws. But it didn’t happen in 2022 and there’s work to do to get into the top 32 seeing as Murray leaves Melbourne ranked at No. 61 in the world.

The plus side for Murray is that he doesn’t have many points to defend across the next few months.

He was set to return to action at the indoor hard-court Rotterdam Open, which starts on February 13, but he has opted to withdraw due to his exertions at the Australian Open.

Instead, he looks to be heading to play the Qatar Open in Doha, which starts on February 20, followed by the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship, which starts on February 27.

Then it’s on to the 'Sunshine Double' of Indian Wells and the Miami Open. Murray has not had much success at either tournament in recent years, but it is an opportunity to gain ranking points as both are ATP Masters 1000 events, which are only below Grand Slams and the ATP Finals for the amount of ranking points on offer.

Murray is currently 510 points behind world No. 32 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the rankings.

Raducanu heads to Texas

Raducanu’s plans appear a bit less set in stone than Murray's – but a comeback date does seem confirmed.

The British No. 1 saw her Australian Open chances hampered by an ankle injury she suffered in Auckland in early January. She still played in Melbourne, even though she said afterwards that the chances of doing so ahead of the Grand Slam looked “very, very low”.

Now it appears Raducanu will take some time to get healthy and work with her new coach Sebastian Sachs.

"I just have to review the body right now,” said Raducanu after her loss to Gauff.

“I've had some niggles in the past few months, and I just need to get that sorted, train, and then we'll see after that.”

Raducanu’s return looks set to come at the inaugural ATX Open, which starts in Texas on February 27.

The world No. 77 has been confirmed to play at the WTA 250, which means due to travel distance she will likely not head to the Middle East earlier in February to play in Doha or the first WTA 1000 of the season in Dubai. There could be the opportunity to play the Merida Open in Mexico the week before the ATX Open.

After Texas, it’s on to back-to-back WTA 1000 events in Indian Wells (March 8) and Miami (March 22). Raducanu has played Indian Wells twice and the Miami Open once.

Raducanu has spoken about hoping to see progress in the next six months under Sachs’ guidance.

"I have that vision. That's the way I want to play in the future. I really like the work that we do. He [Sachs] is obviously so experienced and the best in the business. So it will be good.

"I'm really buying into and trusting the work that I'm doing with Sebastian and the rest of the team. So I'm feeling good and confident that, in six months' time, I know it's not going to be the finished product, but hopefully I would have made strides."
