Among the large number of US Open matches, it makes sense to pay attention to the confrontation Emma Raducanu – Sofia Kenin. Dailysports experts have prepared their exclusive prediction on this confrontation.
Emma Raducanu
The British tennis player is still trying to become at least a top-20 player, the US Open is a special tournament for her, because it was here that she became a sensational winner. After this tremendous success, she did not win any tournaments at all, and her good tennis was rarely shown.
Now Raducanu is only the 71st racket of the world, the game shows that she is capable of much, perhaps lacking psychological stability, after all, the tennis player is only 21 years old. There were no phenomenal successes this season, the tennis player looked good on grass, if you remember Wimbledon, she reached the fourth round, where she lost to not the most formidable Lulu Radovic.
Sofia Kenin
In her time, Kenin was a strong and dangerous tennis player, she finished seasons in the top 20 between 2019 and 2021 and also managed to win one slam. Now the athlete is 25 years old, it is possible to make a career restart, but the playing conditions are far from optimal.
Although the American is now the 55th ranked player in the world, it doesn’t quite match her current level of play. Kenin has lost 6 of her last 7 matches, so there are no prerequisites for a successful performance at the US Open, there is a high probability that she will not even make it past the first round.
Interesting facts about the match and history of head-to-head meetings
- As statistics show, tennis players have never played each other before.
- Kenin played 13 matches on hard court this year, in 11 cases she lost, Radukanu has 7 wins in 13 meetings.
- Bookmakers offer the following odds for this match: W1 – 1.27, W2 – 3.7.
Emma Raducanu vs Sofia Kenin Prediction
I agree with the quotes, both tennis players are unstable, have won slams, but Raducanu’s form is better. Kenin does not always pull on the level of a middle-ranked player, so I do not expect high-level tennis from her. I’ll bet on the success of the British player with a -4 game handicap.
