Aryna Sabalenka vs Emma Raducanu prediction
Emma Raducanu pushed Aryna Sabalenka hard at Wimbledon but the Belarusian superstar pulled through on the grass, winning 7-6 (8-6), 6-4. It would be no surprise if we saw another tight encounter between these two here in Cincinnati. Raducanu is extremely dangerous on a hard court surface and has proven that she has the defence and skill to go toe-to-toe with Sabalenka.
The relentless nature of Sabalenka’s hitting is what proves so debilitating for opponents and how there is simply no let-up in her game. This is how she eventually overwhelmed Raducanu at Wimbledon and will attempt to produce the same outcome this time around. But if Sabalenka isn’t at her best, Raducanu is more than capable of knocking her out.
Ultimately, the consistent power and accuracy of Sabalenka’s strokeplay from the baseline should see her eventually get the better of Raducanu for the second time in the space of just over a month.
