On Sunday afternoon, there will be huge local interest in British player Emma Raducanu, who has failed to live up to her reputation since winning the US Open at the age of just 18 back in 2021. However, the home-court player has improved of late and seemingly has her grass-court game in tip-top shape, so she ought to be relishing the opportunity to play Lulu Sun, who is ranked outside of the top 100, for a place in the quarter-finals.Lulu Sun - Emma Raducanu Key Points
- Lulu Sun has no history of beating grass-court players at this level.
- Emma Raducanu comes into this match having won each of her last three Wimbledon matches in straight sets.
- Emma Raducanu has recently beaten much better players in straight sets.
- Emma Raducanu hasn't lost to a lower-ranked player on grass since 2021.
Our Lulu Sun vs Emma Raducanu Prediction
This is a mammoth opportunity for a player who has drifted since that US Open win nearly three years ago. As touched on above, though, the Brit has played some outstanding grass-court tennis over the last couple of weeks and she now looks very hungry, which is a real positive. Having beaten a player of Maria Sakkari's quality in straight sets last time out, winning 6-2, 6-3, she really ought to come through this test without breaking a sweat. Lulu Sun has done well too get this far and can't be entirely overlooked, but she's had an easy run and has very little history to suggest that she can trouble a Raducanu that looked very, very strong last time out. If all goes to plan, Raducanu should win and win comfortably. Our Prediction: Emma Raducanu -5.5 Game Handicap.
