Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Emma Raducanu Prediction & Betting Tips - WTA Australian Open
by Steve Ashfield | in Tennis Predictions
Emma Raducanu makes her latest return from injury in the first round of the Australian Open. The British player takes on the 26th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova. Can Raducanu reach the second round? Here's our match prediction.
The winner of this match faces either Maria Lourdes Carle or Amanda Anisimova (both unseeded) in the next round. However, the scheduled third round opponent is second seed Iga Swiatek.
Raducanu is playing her first match since the Billie Jean King Cup finals last November. A back injury meant she was unable to play any warm-up tournaments before this outdoor hard court Grand Slam.
Not playing enough is her big problem. Just eight matches have been played since Wimbledon last year and one of those saw her retire. Raducanu is 61st in the live rankings and in three appearances in this tournament has always lost in round two.
Can she get that far this time though? Ekaterina Alexandrova is at 31st in the live rankings but has only won one of her three matches played this season. Her best run in this tournament is the third round, getting that far in 2020, 2021 and 2023.
Last year saw her reach one WTA hard court final. We go for over 19.5 games to be played in this match.

Our Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Emma Raducanu Prediction
It's so difficult to bet on Emma Raducanu matches. Again, the British player has had a poor preparation for a Grand Slam event as was the case at last year's US Open. Raducanu on her day can give anyone a good match but she needs to be playing a lot more. For example, in the past two years Raducanu has played 46 matches, while her opponent has had 105. Ekaterina Alexandrova is seeded but has only won one of her three warm-up matches.
Our Ekaterinia Alexandrova v Emma Raducanu prediction is over 19.5 games to be played.

You can get a 5% deposit bonus up to €10 every day with Vbet. It requires a minimum deposit of €5 for you to gain your deposit bonus of 5%. Only the first deposit that you make during a 24-hour period will count so if you make a €5 in the morning and then that same evening you deposit €20, you will only get the 5% on the €5 so it is worth planning what your daily spend is going to be. The free bet that you get is only valid for a single day so needs to be used with haste. To qualify, you cannot have withdrawn funds within the last day so you cannot deposit €10, use the free bet and take the €10 back out to redeposit the next day. Vbet can cancel the offer for any players who try to manipulate the system.
