Our Emma Raducanu vs Taylah Preston Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Emma Raducanu hacks out a three-set victory over Taylah Preston 6-4, 4-6, 7-5.
Reasoning: Raducanu got a lucky break after receiving a walkover win over Magdalena Fręch in the second round. A quarterfinalist for the first time this year, Raducanu must stay sharp because Preston is no pushover despite being ranked outside the top-100. The Aussie collected wins over notable top-100 players such as Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, Oksana Selekhmeteva, and Rebecca Sramkova. Raducanu might still be a strong moneyline pick here, but she will definitely be in a dogfight with Preston, who has all the momentum in the world right now.
