Emma Raducanu will take on Sloane Stephen in the battle of former Grand Slam champions in the first round of the women’s singles tournament at Eastbourne International 2024. Raducanu made it in the main draw of this WTA 500 grass-court tournament via Wildcard entry. The Briton looks to build upon the success she had at the Rothesay Open, where she reached the semifinal round before falling to compatriot Katie Boulter 6-7(13) 6-3 6-4. It has been a rough road for Raducanu ever since winning the 2021 US Open title. Still, the 21-year-old Briton has plenty of time to reinvent his game and perhaps recapture the winning form that catapulted her to the top of women’s tennis three years ago. Like Raducanu, Stephens is another former majors winner who is eager to get back to the top of the ladder but has faced inconsistency and injury issues in the past few years. After winning the US Open title as a springy youngster, the 31-year-old Stephens is now a veteran in the WTA tour, waiting for another shot at Grand Slam glory.

The Briton is the favourite in this match, as DraftKings has listed her at -225.

The American has a 57 per cent win rate on the grass court, while her opponent has 55 per cent. Stephens is a former Wimbledon Open quarterfinalist. On the other hand, the Briton hasn’t gotten past the fourth round at Wimbledon. Our betting prediction for Sloane Stephens vs. Emma Raducanu: Bet on Stephens to win, +180, at DraftKings.
