Emma Raducanu vs Iga Swiatek prediction
These two last clashed earlier this year at the Australian Open, a match dominated by Iga Swiatek, who beat Emma Raducanu 6-1, 6-0. Now at the four-time French Open champions favourite Grand Slam venue, Raducanu looks to cause what would be a big upset despite her own Grand Slam winning pedigree. She fought hard to reach this stage, defeating Wang Xinyu 7-5, 4-6, 6-3.
But here, she faces an opponent who has won her last 22 matches at Roland Garros and 36 of her last 38 at this tournament, not losing since 2021. There have been question marks over Raducanu’s fitness and the Brit will need to be at her very best physically and mentally here, finding a way to maintain a high level of performance across all sets.
Swiatek has not been at her best recently, even on the clay court, but she can use her natural ability on this surface to mask any lingering deficiencies and find a way past her opponents. Back the Pole to get the better of Raducanu, once again in straight sets.
