Tournament Previous Best QF (2022) Debut
1st Serve Return Points Won % 37.4 32.8

Raducanu has been more effective on return, but Badosa has the edge on converting on her break point chances and equally saving those against her.

 

 

Playing Styles & Prediction

Having struggled with injury issues, Badosa is enjoying a bit of a purple patch at the moment, compared to her start to the season, and certainly she has a lot of momentum coming into this match.

Raducanu has always had court smarts and has clearly figured her way to a couple of tough wins and she is her fourth quarter-final this season – not something many people would have predicted after such an injury-compromised few years.

However, despite leading in their head-to-head, this is going to be quite a tough ask for Raducanu.

Prediction: Badosa in three sets.
