Elena-Gabriela Ruse vs Emma Raducanu prediction
Emma Raducanu backed up a promising display at Wimbledon with a really impressive run in Washington, playing with conviction and fight as she overcame the likes of Marta Kostyuk, Naomi Osaka and Maria Sakkari on her way to the semi-finals. Whilst there is always the worry of Raducanu’s body breaking down under duress, the Brit is growing more and more durable by the tournament and this bodes well for the future.
Elena-Gabriela Ruse represents a tricky first round assignment for Raducanu at the Canadian Open. Ruse has not been in the best of form lately but the 27-year-old can stand up for herself in long rallies and will need to do just that when taking into account the power of Raducanu’s baseline strikes.
It’s a short turnover for Raducanu from Washington to Montreal, which does bring the potential of fatigue into play. However, Raducanu has the ability to go up an extra gear and reach a higher level than Ruse, so back the Brit to come through.
