LiontipsSloane Stephens vs Emma Raducanu. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Australian Open
Command Analysis
For the most recent time Sloane Stephens put up a successful performance at Australian Open in 2019, she reached the round of 16. In two most recent editions of the tournament American player failed to advance past the first round, losing to lower-ranked opponents, Zhang Shuai and Putintseva.
We are not expecting a great performance from Stephens at Melbourne in 2022. Sloane didn't play a single match before the Grand Slam tournament. For the most recent time Stephens played an official match at the beginning of October in the previous year, losing to Pegula (2:6, 3:6) in the second round of Indian Wells tournament.
Emma Raducanu will perform at Australian Open for the first time in her career. After a triumph at US Open young player slowed down and is not performing successfully.
In the first round of Sydney tournament Raducanu managed to get only one game against Rybakina (0:6, 1:6). Raducanu is trying to regain form at Australia. She went to practice right after the match against Rybakina. It is uncertain, whether the young player will overcome that crisis.
