Emma Raducanu Preview – Can Raducanu extend her stay in New York?
It has been nothing short of an astonishing run from Emma Raducanu at the US Open 2021.
After making her Grand Slam debut by reaching the Fourth Round at Wimbledon this year, this effort at the US Open was unexpected.
But she has looked mature, relaxed and full of confidence in her own ability.
The nice thing about Raducanu’s game is that she takes the matches to her opponents.
She gets on the front-foot, unsettling opposition with some heavy-hitting, not allowing anyone to play their natural game.
That’s what happened to Shelby Rogers, Raducanu’s Fourth Round opponent.
After a little early pressure, Raducanu totally took apart the US player’s game and raced to a 2-0 win.
In the match outright for tennis betting, Raducanu is the 23/20 underdog* (odds taken 16:51 GMT 7th September 2021 at bet365),
She is, after all, facing the Olympic champion in Belinda Bencic next.
It is the manner of Raducanu’s victories at the US Open so far that has been truly remarkable.
In the last two rounds of action, she has dropped a total of four games.
Her run of match results reads 6-2 6-3, 6-2 6-4, 6-0 6-1, 6-2 6-1 which is crazy.
That’s just in the main draw, she also won three Qualification matches without dropping a set.
This is going to be her toughest match yet.
It’s the first seeded player that she meets in the draw.
There is a quote of 1/2 odds in tennis betting on Raducanu winning a set in the match* (odds taken 16:51 GMT 7th September 2021 at bet365).
It’s been staggering stuff from the youngster, can she extend her journey?
Belinda Bencic Preview – Experience Bencic to handle the pressure?
In her last US Open campaign, Belinda Bencic reached the Semi Finals and she’s one match away from a repeat.
It has been a terrific summer for the Swiss star, having picked up the gold at the Olympic Games.
So she arrives in this quarter-final match in some great form.
After that Gold Medal win at the Olympics, Bencic went to the WTA1000 Cincinnati tournament on hard court.
She reached the Fourth Round there in a strong effort.
It means that now Bencic is W13 L1 in her last fourteen matches in hard court tournaments.
Bencic is the 4/6 odds-on favourite in US Open tennis betting* (odds taken 16:51 GMT 7th September 2021 at bet365).
She is probably going to thrive a little more off of the rhythm that Raducanu likes to play at, more so than any of the others that the Brit has beaten.
Rightly so, Bencic goes into this as the favourite.
