WTA Stuttgart: #1 Swiatek v. #8 Raducanu

Who will WIN this matchup?

#1 Iga Swiatek (POL)

#8 Emma Raducanu (GBR)

 

Current odds:

Iga Swiatek: (-1200)

Emma Raducanu: (+700)

 

• Iga Swiatek was broken once by world no. 342 and qualifier Eva Lys during their 62-minute encounter. That was the extent of the difficulties she faced in making a successful start to her Porsche Grand Prix debut. She went on to prevail 6-1, 6-1 and stretch her winning streak to 20 matches.

• Emma Raducanu cleared a strangely topsy-turvy match against German lucky loser Tamara Korpatsch, whose brave resistance ended with a 6-0, 2-6, 6-1 exit. She has now faced two opponents from the qualifying rounds, previously seeing off qualifier Storm Sanders, 6-1, 6-2, in 70 minutes.

• Head-to-head: 0-0. It is going to be the Briton’s maiden clash with a top 10 player, while a victory would be her first top 50 scalp in a regular WTA event. Four years ago, Iga Swiatek thrashed Emma Raducanu, 6-0, 6-1, in the junior quarterfinal of Wimbledon and went on to win the tournament.
