THE PREDICTION
British number one Emma Raducanu burst onto the scene exactly a year ago with a stunning run to the round of 16 at Wimbledon as an unheard of wildcard ranked outside the top 300. The then 18-year-old suffered breathing difficulties against Ajla Tomljanovic to see what could well have been a quarter-final clash with eventual champion Ash Barty scuppered but she came back stronger than any would have thought possible with a blistering run to the US Open title last September – becoming the first qualifier to do so in New York.
Raducanu has drawn a really tough opener here against world number 46 Alison Van Uytvanck, with the Belgian a confident all-courter with a clear ability on grass. The 28-year-old reached the round of 16 here in 2018 and she recently beat fellow-Belgian Elise Mertens on grass before a tight three-set defeat to Aryna Sabalenka at the Libema Open. Raducanu beat Van Uytvanck at the Chicago Challenger last summer before here US Open exploits but most of this first tour-level meeting will depend on the teenager’s fitness holding up. Back Raducanu to win at least a set, regardless of who ultimately comes out on top.
