Emma Raducanu vs Cristina Bucsa prediction

Emma Raducanu fell to a heavy defeat in the second-round of the French Open to four-time winner Iga Swiatek last time out in Paris. The Pole thrashed the former US Open champion 6-1 6-2. Nevertheless, there were still positives to take from the clay season for the Brit, who won three consecutive matches on the surface for the first time at the Italian Open.

She begins her campaign on the grass with a first-round match against Cristina Bucsa. Bucsa made it through qualifying to enter the main draw. They’ve played each other once before in Singapore earlier this year, with the world number 112 coming from a set down to win.

Raducanu is an effective player on grass, having made the fourth-round of Wimbledon last year, and she should be heavily favoured to get off to a winning start here. We think she’s good value to beat Bucsa in straight sets.

Emma Raducanu vs Cristina Bucsa tip: Emma Raducanu to win 2-0
