The good news for Emma Raducanu is that she didn’t have to play in the Doha qualifiers. However, round one of the main draw sees her take on recent title winner Ekaterina Alexandrova. Who’ll reach round two? Here’s our match prediction.
It gets even tougher in round two as the winner of this match takes on world number one Aryna Sabalenka next.
Emma Raducanu is 60th in the live rankings but has lost her last three matches. The most recent was in Abu Dhabi where the 22-year-old lost to Marketa Vondrousova.
These two players met in the first round of the Australian Open and it was the British player who got the win in straight sets. It was tough though with both sets being determined by a tie-break. A side bet on one in this match could well be a good move.
Ekaterina Alexandrova is up to 26th in the live list. This is her first tournament since winning the title in Linz. That success came after losing her two previous matches. Five of her eight matches this year have been won. That’s compared to the 2-3 record of her opponent.
Another close match looks likely here and we tip over 20.5 games to be played.
