Who is Emma Raducanu’s first Hobart opponent? Camila Osorio, who the Brit beat in epic match
After starting her 2026 season at the United Cup, Emma Raducanu will make her first WTA Tour appearance of the year at the Hobart International.
Raducanu was beaten by Maria Sakkari in three sets in her first match since October and only match of the United Cup as Great Britain exited at the group stage.
The world No 29 is the top seed at the WTA 250 tournament in Hobart, which will be held from 12-17 January in the week before the Australian Open.
The 23-year-old Brit will face Camila Osorio, who received a wildcard in Hobart, in her opening match.
Who is Camila Osorio?
Camila Osorio was born in Cucuta, Colombia on 22 December 2001, and she comes from a sporting family.
Her grandfather, Rolando Serrano, played for the Colombian national football team, while her father Carlos and brother Sebastian also played football professionally. Osorio’s mother, Adriana, was a basketball player.
The Colombian was a world No 1 ITF Junior and won the US Open girls’ singles title in 2019.
Osorio has won all three of her WTA Tour singles titles on home soil at the Copa Colsanitas — a clay-court WTA 250 event in Bogota, Colombia. She won the tournament in 2021, 2024 and 2025.
She was also a finalist at hard-court WTA 250 events in Tenerife in 2021 and Monterrey in 2022.

Osorio has defeated two players who were ranked in the top 10 at the time: sixth-ranked Elina Svitolina in Tenerife in 2021 and fourth-ranked Caroline Garcia at the 2023 Italian Open.
