Emma Raducanu v Stefanie Voegele | H2H: First Meeting
Britain’s Emma Raducanu has been putting in the hard yards after her run to the second week of Wimbledon and has learned a lot from the pressure that was heaped on her shoulders. Her draw might just have opened up as her planned opening opponent Australian Open runner-up Jennifer Brady withdrew with a knee injury. Lucky loser Stefanie Voegele takes her place.

The stats fetch up far better for Raducanu who arrives with some form having been the runner-up in the WTA Chicago 125 event. She also came through some tough qualifying rounds to book her spot in the main draw.
Playing Styles & Prediction
Could Raducanu be in the cusp of another solid run? She may well be if she can get off to a quick start. Both players have an aggressive game and for Voegele this is a free hit, so even though she is slightly higher ranked than Raducanu, she perhaps has less pressure on her than the Brit.
Raducanu has a very winnable match on her hands, and perhaps without a US crowd on her back, she can be free to notch up her first overseas Slam win.
Prediction: Raducanu in three sets.
