Jaqueline Cristian vs Emma Raducanu prediction
Jaqueline Cristian reached the third-round of the US Open for the first time in her career last time out, after wins over Danielle Collins and Ashlyn Krueger. She ran eventual finalist Amanda Anisimova close but eventually lost out in three sets. She is now up to her highest ranking of 43 in the world.
British number one Emma Raducanu also advanced to round three in New York. She breezed through her first two matches, dropping just six games in total, but was completely overwhelmed by fellow Grand Slam champion Elena Rybakina, losing 6-1 6-2. That tame defeat will have been a disappointment for Raducanu, but she will hope to end the year inside the top 30 in the world rankings to bolster her chances of being seeded for next year’s Australian Open.
Cristian is likely to be a challenge for Raducanu, but she should be able to dictate a lot of the rallies if she takes the initiative early on and her serve is firing. I’d still back the Briton to come through this.
