Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Emma Raducanu Prediction & Picks - WTA Australian Open
by Lou Aguila | in Tennis Picks
On Tuesday, former US Open winner Emma Raducanu begins a fresh campaign for an elusive second Grand Slam title, taking on Russian vet Ekaterina Alexandrova in the first round at the 2025 Australian Open. Raducanu will be playing her first match in 2025 after she pulled out from warmup tournaments due to back spasms she suffered while bending to tie her shoes in practice. The Brit has had much success at the Australian Open, as she could only reach the second round on three different occasions. Alexandrova competed in two pre-Australian Open tournaments, but crashed out early in both tournaments. The 30-year-old Russian lost to Ons Jabeur of Turkey 6-3 6-2 in the first round of the 2025 Brisbane International. She captured her first win of the new season after edging Leylah Fernandez 6-4 3-6 6-2 in a three-set match before fizzling out against Emma Navaro 7-6(4) 6-4 in the second round of Adelaide International.

Our Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Emma Raducanu Prediction
I still have faith in Raducanu amidst all the frustrations she has gone through in the years following her magical US Open run. People forget that Raducanu is just 22, and she still has plenty of tennis ahead of her. Against Alexandrova, the Brit will be facing a dangerous first-round foe that reached the third round of the Australian on three separate occasions. Holding a 69.6 percent win rate on hard courts, Raducanu would have been an easy moneyline pick without injury concerns. However, given that the information about her back spasms’ injury remains scarce, I have no choice but to side with her opponent, Alexandrova, who had competitive matches against three top-20 caliber players these past two weeks. Our betting prediction for Ekaterina Alexandrova vs. Emma Raducanu: Alexandrova will win.
