Jack Draper & Jessica Pegula vs Emma Raducanu & Carlos Alcaraz prediction
Less than 24 hours following the ATP Cincinnati Open final, Carlos Alcaraz is scheduled to be back on court, teaming up with former US Open champion Emma Raducanu in this mixed-doubles contest. Fans will no doubt be watching eagerly to see Raducanu and Alcaraz together as a pairing, but how they perform here will likely depend on the condition of Alcaraz following the short turnaround after winning in Cincinnati.
Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula were originally set to team with Paula Badosa and Tommy Paul respectively, but their withdrawals have led to this new duo being formed. Both are currently top five players in singles competition, but the question is whether they can make the successful transition to doubles. Pegula certainly should, as a former Grand Slam doubles finalist and the American was ranked world number one in doubles as recently as September 2023.
Draper’s powerful serve should play strongly on the hard court and having an experienced doubles pro like Pegula alongside him is likely to serve Draper well. Combine that with the question marks surrounding Alcaraz and whether he can put together his best game immediately following a major ATP tournament run and the smart move here looks to be backing Draper and Pegula.
