THE PREDICTION
Former Western & Southern Open champion Victoria Azarenka beat Kaia Kanepi in three sets on Tuesday for her best result since beating Paula Badosa in her very first match of the year. The former world number one claimed the most recent of her 21 WTA titles here in 2020 but she has remained competitively inside the top 30 since, with her most recent final a loss to Badosa at Indian Wells last October. The Belarussian will savour the opportunity to face a young upstart in 19-year-old Emma Raducanu, who played the occasion impressively in a straight-sets victory over Serena Williams in what could well be the penultimate match of the legend’s career. World number 13 Raducanu is wisely playing doubles this week alongside Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina in a promising partnership as she looks to get as match-fit as possible ahead of the US Open and perhaps with the pressure off staying in just one draw, and bolstered by a collector’s item like beating Serena Williams, she may play a little looser than we have seen this year.
The Brit is made for matches like these and she will be backed by an adoring US crowd who claim her as one of their own after her exploits last season. Back Raducanu to win at least a set here as the just-about likelier to win a likely thriller.
