Another of Monday's WTA Dubai matches that catches my eye is the one between Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Emma Raducanu. Having made it through two qualifying matches, showing lots of determination and fighting spirit in the process, the Italian should be ready for this test. We've seen Cocciaretto show that she's ready to break into the top 50 this season, and after she has delivered early-season wins against the likes of Coco Gauff and Iva Jovic, she may soon do that. She can continue her progression by getting the better of a player who retired last time out.
Raducanu was in the progress of making a positive start to the season, reaching the final of the WTA event in Cluj recently, but she couldn't get over the line there, losing in straight sets to a lower-ranked player, while she looked out of sorts in Doha last week, retiring in the first round. She now needs to lift herself and deliver and improved effort, but can she do it?

Our Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs Emma Raducanu Prediction
The early market believe that Emma Raducanu has the quality to get the job done here. I'm not saying that she doesn't, but she'll need to be somewhere near her best, and that's not what we saw from her when she retired in Doha a week ago. With her readiness in doubt, I really don't think the British player should be so strong in the betting, while Cocciaretto is an in-form player, one who has had the benefit of playing a couple of qualifying matches in Dubai. In other words, she's had more time to adjust to the courts, and that could be key.
Frankly, there's enough evidence to suggest that the Italian is generously priced here. In other words, she's worth betting on to send Raducanu packing.
