E.Raducanu vs S.Rogers prediction
E.Raducanu
Radukanu has participated in only one tournament this year in Auckland. As part of these competitions, Emma faced difficulties in a match against Romanian Ruze, and then lost to Svitolina in a hard fight. At certain moments, you could notice a good game from the former tenth racket of the world, but nothing more. In Melbourne, the British tennis player performed only twice in her career, and her performances ended in the second round.
S.Rogers
Rogers has not participated in official matches this season, and it is difficult to make an accurate prediction about her readiness for the start of the Australian Open. It is important to note that during her three previous visits to Melbourne, the American woman successfully overcame the first round twice, and in 2021 reached the 1/8 finals. Last season, Shelby met on local courts and was defeated by Sobolenko in the second round.
Prediction
Rogers ended the previous season ahead of schedule due to health problems. Shelby did not play a single match before the start of the competition in Melbourne, and her readiness for the tournament is questionable. Unlike the American, Radukanu demonstrated a good game in Auckland, where she played two sets on equal terms with Svitolina. Currently, Emma's form looks more stable, and I expect her to be able to handle Shelby with confidence.
