Yuan Yue
Emma Raducanu
On September 19, Yuan Yue and Emma Raducanu will meet at the tennis tournament in Seoul. Dailysports experts have prepared their prediction for this confrontation.
Yuan Yue
The Chinese athlete is not as famous as her upcoming opponent, although she will be 26 years old in a week, and she is ranked 40th in the world rankings. This year Yuan has looked good at the start of the season, she won the tournament in Austin, reached the semifinals in Hobart, and the quarterfinals of Indian Wells can also be written down as an asset.
The Chinese started this tournament with a 4:6, 6:2, 6:2 victory over the tough Romanian Ruse. In the second half of the season it was difficult for Yuan to show her best tennis, but she can prove herself in Seoul.
Emma Raducanu
A breakthrough is still expected from the British tennis player, after all, she is the winner of one Slam, although this is the only significant success in her career. Raducanu will be 22 this year, she is still capable of building a brilliant career. Of course, she lacks stability and psychological stability, but technically there are no special problems.
She is currently ranked 70th in the world rankings, although she can beat any opponent if she shows her best tennis. This tournament did not start easy, in a nearly three-hour match she managed to beat the tough American Sterns - 7:6, 7:6.
Match Facts
- Radukanu has 8 wins in 15 meetings on hard court this season.
- Yuan has played 32 matches on hard court, in which she has 21 wins.
- Quotes for the match are as follows: W1 - 1.31, W2 - 3.55.
H2H
Previously, tennis players have never played each other.
Prediction
On paper, Raducanu is a slight favorite, although I expect a difficult match that could drag on. Both athletes have something to prove, they will be charged to win. A bet on a total of more than 20.5 games looks acceptable here.
