EMMA RADUCANU VS MARIA SAKKARI PREDICTION
This has all the makings of a potential thriller between home crowd hero Emma Raducanu and Maria Sakkari, who will be desperate for revenge after losing in straight sets to Raducanu in the 2021 US Open semi-finals, the Brit going on to win her first Grand Slam. Sakkari has never gone beyond the third round at Wimbledon and has notoriously struggled on grass compared to other surfaces.
The outcome of this match largely depends on Raducanu. If she plays at the level as she did against Mertens, Sakkari will struggle to cope with her quality and the home crowd at Wimbledon will be a huge factor. The power of momentum in a tournament like this cannot be underestimated and Raducanu has proven that when she does get on a roll, stopping her can be very difficult. Therefore, back Raducanu to once again overcome the Greek star.
