Less than a month after stunning the world with her victory at the US Open, Emma Raducanu will return to action next week at the BNP Paribas Open.
The 18-year-old Briton was handed a wildcard by tournament organisers and will be one to watch at Indian Wells.
Last month, Raducanu became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam earlier when she beat fellow teenager Leylah Fernandez in straight sets.
Her entry into the tournament will allow her to compete for the 1,000 ranking points up for grabs and possibly give her an outside shot at qualifying for the season-ending WTA Finals in Guadalajara.
