Emma Raducanu takes a wildcard into Strasbourg, but needs to get her first win over Daria Kasatkina to get more clay court time ahead of Roland Garros.

H2H: Emma Raducanu (WR 43) Daria Kasatkina (WR 17)
Tournament Previous Best Debut Debut
1st Serve Return Points Won % 39.1 42.3
Return Points Won % 45.8 48.0
Break Point Conversion % 55.1 51.2
Break Points Saved % 62.3 32.1
Overall Service Points Won % 58.7 53.6

Raducanu will need to sharpen up her return game against Kasatkina, but has proved to be more clutch when it counts, and has been more efficient on her own service games.

 

 

Playing Styles & Prediction

It might be strange to see a fairly effective player like Kasatkina cramming in one last tournament on the clay, but despite pretty consistent on the surface over the years, this year has seen her just rack up three wins in the three tournaments she has played, including being bounced out of the first round in Rome.

Raducanu, on the other hand, has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence after a slow start to the year, with a run to the quarter-final in Miami and the fourth round in Rome. But it will take some doing to turn around a three-match losing streak to Kasatkina. In fact she is yet to take a set off the former Russian, now Australian.

Prediction: Kasatkina in straight sets.
