Emma Raducanu vs Viktoriya Tomova – Match Predictions
Contents
Viktoriya Tomova to Win
Radacanu, the former US Open champion, is currently ranked No. 85, is looking to regain her form after a disappointing start to the season. Meanwhile, Tomova arrives in Madrid after winning her first professional title in three years but had to rely on a lucky loser spot to enter the main draw. They have met once before in a high-stakes meeting, with Viktoriya coming out as the victor to claim the W25 Sunderland title. The Bulgarian should profit from her rival’s woeful form and make the most of the opportunity that has found her way.
2-0 to Viktoriya Tomova
Tomova arrived in Madrid following success in Zaragoza. That is five wins that Raducanu has come up with across the whole of 2023. In addition to injuries, she is going through a crisis of confidence and needs to get out of her rut. It looks unlikely that she will overcome a rival who has forced the issue with victories against all and sundry, albeit at a lower level. Raducanu’s lack of success on clay coupled with Tomova’s recent good form makes us believe that Tomova will win this match in straight sets.
