Playing Styles & Prediction

Raducanu’s run has seen her now rack up four wins in a row, and she is back in a tour level quarter-final since 2022. The question will be – how fatigued she feels now, as she goes up against the always formidable Swiatek.

The Pole is unbeaten in Stuttgart, but she has shown in Melbourne, Dubai and Miami that she is vulnerable at times. But on clay she still is very much the player to beat.

Raducanu will be facing Swiatek for the third time in her career, but has yet to take a set off the World No. 1. But even if she fails on this attempt, it is a great start to the clay court season for Raducanu, and if she can stay fit, she should feel that this is solid progress.

Prediction: Swiatek in straight sets.
