It was a year of frequent coaching changes for Raducanu. Having won the U.S. Open with Andrew Richardson, she replaced him with Torben Beltz just two months after winning the title. By April 2022, Beltz was out and Dimitry Tursunov, who had worked with Annett Kontaveit while she reached No. 2 in the world, was in.

Iga Swiatek and Emma Raducanu secured their places in round three at the Australian Open to kick off day five in Melbourne. First, Swiatek crushed Rebecca Sramkova 6-0, 6-2 as she took another step on the road to redemption after a doping ban last year.
