Emma Raducanu of Great Britain faces off against Ekaterina Alexandrova of Russia in the second round of the 2025 Italian Open on Friday.
Raducanu aims to better her second-round finish in Madrid, where she lost to eventual quarterfinalist Marta Kostyuk 6-4 2-6 6-2 in three sets. Raducanu made it to the second round in Rome after grinding out a 7-5 6-7(1) 6-3 win over Maya Joint of Australia. The Brit won 70 percent of her first serves and broke Joint 6 times to earn hard-earned win.
Meanwhile, Alexandrova came short of reaching the semifinal for a third straight tournament in Madrid after bowing to a streaking Mayoka Uchijima of Japan 6-4 7-6(5). Alexandrova had reached the semifinal of her first clay-court tournaments this year at Charleston and Stuttgart.

Our Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Emma Raducanu Prediction
I am betting on Ekaterina Alexandrova to win in two sets. The Russian is in her best shape after reaching the final four stage of her first two clay-court tournaments this year. One could argue that she would have reached at least the quarterfinals in Madrid if she had not underestimated Uchijima in their round of 16 matchup. There are many positives about Raducanu’s campaign this season. First and foremost, Raducanu hasn’t looked this healthy in years after battling injuries following her title run at the US Open championship in 2021. Then again, she needs to realize that she’s taking one of the most consistent players on clay this season in Alexandrova, who defeated her 6-3 7-5 in their first meeting this year in round 1 of the 2025 Qatar Open. Our betting prediction for Emma Raducanu vs. Ekaterina Alexandrova: Ekaterina Alexandrova 2-0.
