Antonia Ruzic vs Emma Raducanu prediction

Emma Raducanu arrives at Wimbledon in high spirits following a runner-up finish at Queen’s.

The British number one will have an army of home support behind her as she faces a tricky opener with Antonia Ruzic.

The Croatian sits at 60 in the world and is a player on the rise in 2026.

Indeed, the 23-year-old defeated Raducanu in three sets in Dubai earlier this year and is emerging as a tough competitor on tour.

 However, Ruzic has limited background on grass, with just one tour-level win overall. That could prove key against Raducanu, who is showing real quality on the surface and clearly relishes the spotlight at her home Grand Slam.
