Playing Styles & Prediction
There are a lot of similarities between the pair. They both live to take the ball early, both enjoy a good backhand-down and expect them to try and dominate their rallies from the baseline. Noskova is match-tight on the terre-battue of Roland Garros while Raducanu has enjoyed some success on this surface but has also been blighted by irritating injury niggles so a lot depends on whether she has recovered from the latest back injury that saw her pull the ripcord in her Rome opener.
Prediction: Raducanu in three sets.
