Emma Raducanu seeks to end a three-match losing streak as she kicks off her grass-court season against Anna Blinkova in the first round of the 2026 HSBC Championship at Queen’s Club.
Sporting an 18-14 record on grass, Raducanu opened as a -240 favorite at FanDuel in her first grass-court match this year. The former US Open champion reached the quarterfinals of this tournament a year ago after topping Cristina Bucsa and Rebecca Sramkova before falling to Zheng Qinwen in the final eight.
Blinkova qualified for the main draw of the 2026 HSBC Championship after sweeping both Jodie Ann Burrage and Donna Vekic. The Russian could offer a serious test to Raducanu in this first-round encounter, especially if she can sustain her blazing form from the qualifying rounds.

Our Emma Raducanu vs Anna Blinkova Prediction
Anna Blinkova will pull off an upset.
Blinkova poses a real danger to Emma Raducanu in this matchup, not only because she played well in the qualifying rounds, but Raducanu hasn’t tasted a win since March.
The Brit surely has more talent than Blinkova on paper, but her mental game is so out of place that anyone on the WTA Tour can take her out of her game on any given day.
An upset by Blinkova over Raducanu offers a lucrative +174 payout at FanDuel.
