Tip and bets
Raducanu deserved a spot in the final of New York tournament with her performance. In the most recent match against Bencic British player put up an accurate performance. Sakkari is a more experienced player, but she is not consistent enough. We think that chances are even in this match, so we offer to place a risky bet on the underdog.
Our prediction - Raducanu to win
There is no clear favourite in an upcoming match. Players will fight for a spot in the final of Grand Slam tournament, so we don't think that someone will leave the court without a fight.
