Playing Styles & Prediction
Raducanu will face a player with similar characteristics in her game – an aggressive baseline game with powerful groundstrokes. Ruse has developed quite a fighting spirit and matches up well to Raducanu’s quick thinking on the court.
Both will move well around the court, and it will come down to small margins. Raducanu certainly will come in with the hard court momentum – but has often struggled with niggles and fatigue so a lot will depend on how strong she feels with such a quick turnaround.
Prediction: Raducanu in three sets.
