Playing Styles & Prediction
While Giorgi looked good on the grass, Raducanu’s season has been tough to get going, and with both of them having aggressive games, it will be a hard-hitting match in store. Giorgi looks to try and dominate with a serve-forehand combi and will often just hit out for the lines, so Raducanu can expect to be made to scuttle about a fair bit.
The Brit has shown she can think her way out of problems and if she can get into Giorgi’s return games more, she ought to have the measure of the Italian.
Prediction: Raducanu in three sets.
