Emma Raducanu vs Solana Sierra prediction
Emma Raducanu faces a tricky opener at the 2026 French Open.
The Brit’s stop-start season saw her play just one clay tournament leading into Roland Garros and she was beaten at the first hurdle in Strasbourg.
The world number 37 has played just five matches since reaching the final at Cluj-Napoca back in February and won just one of them.
It means her preparations have been weak and her first opponent is clay specialist Solana Sierra.
The Argentine world number 64 has picked up seven wins during the European clay swing and gave 2025 French Open champion Coco Gauff a scare in Rome.
The South American’s form coupled with Emma’s lack of match sharpness means we can see the rumblings of a ranking upset in this one.
Emma Raducanu vs Solana Sierra tip: Solan Sierra to win
