Emma Raducanu vs Bianca Andreescu prediction

Emma Raducanu at the 2022 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. Both players are making their debuts in Rome, so it's going to end on a sour note for one of them. Raducanu is in better shape from a physical standpoint and has more wins on clay this year than Andreescu, so she'll have a slight edge heading into this encounter. Neither is playing at the level that won them a Grand Slam title, but it's only a matter of time before they find their best form. Raducanu has been quick to adapt to clay. She's moving well and timing her shots. The Brit's serve has also been firing on all cylinders over the past couple of weeks. She'll need to serve consistently to have an edge against the Canadian. Andreescu possesses much more variety than the teenager and her mix of slices, drop shots and even moonballs can catch the Brit off guard. This could be a closely contested contest and we expect Raducanu to squeak past the Canadian and progress to the second round. Pick: Emma Raducanu to win in three sets.
