Playing Styles & Prediction

Pray for the little yellow fluffies as they are about to get the covers bashed off them in this match-up. Both players like to be aggressive, and both move well around the court. In the past Siniakova has let her emotions get the better of her, but seems to have grown out of the tearful outbursts, so is likely to handle things better if Raducanu starts to get under her skin.

Raducanu will look to trap the Czech at the back of the court as she loves to take the ball on the rise. A win here would be great for Raducanu, if only to kickstart a little consistency and momentum to what has felt like a stop and start season.

Prediction: Raducanu in three sets.
