Lucia Bronzetti vs Kamila Rakhimova prediction

Lucia Bronzetti was not selected to play in any of Italy’s Billie Jean King Cup matches but was still part of the overall squad as they retained their title. Bronzetti’s last match remains a defeat in the first-round of the US Open to youngster Tereza Valentova. The Italian is without a win on the tour since her fine run to the fourth-round of the Cincinnati Open, which included a victory over two-time Grand Slam champion Coco Gauff.

Kamilla Rakhimova is also struggling for form, after a three match winless streak. She lost in the second-round of the US Open to Daria Kasatkina and has followed that up with two consecutive round one defeats. She has lost 16 of her 26 matches on hard courts this year, with her best results of 2025 occurring during the grass court season. 

Neither player is performing strongly at the minute, and they are evenly matched overall. This has the makings of a three set match.

Lucia Bronzetti vs Kamila Rakhimova tip: Both players to win a set
