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.
Antonia Ruzic vs Emma Raducanu tip: Emma Raducanu to win 2-0
