Aryna Sabalenka vs Emma Raducanu prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: Wimbledon 2025

Local favourite Raducanu stunned 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova.

Emma Raducanu displayed one of her best performances, as she took down the former SW19 winner in Marketa Vondrousova. This victory in particularly impressive, as the Czech was one of the title contenders. With so many top seeds falling around her, Vondrousova was going to be handful to deal with, due to her superb record on grass.

Moreover, a recent title triumph in Berlin, where she beat Madison Keys and Aryna Sabalenka en route to the finals, meant the odds were in her favour to prevail over the Brit. However, backed by the home crowd, Raducanu played the tennis of her life, combining aggression with consistency, using heavy topspin and the depth of the court, to beat the Czech very comfortably in the end.

The Brit No. 1 was evidently the happiest she has ben in recent years, as she knew the magnitude of the win. Raducanu is uplifting her game at the right time, and over the past few months she has shown glimpses of consistency. However, she will not be able to celebrate her second-round triumph for too long, as she faces the World No. 1 next.

Preview

Aryna Sabalenka did not have it easy against Marie Bouzková in the second round, as the Czech broke the top seed in the eleventh game, and was serving for the set. The Belarusian showed signs of nervousness, and seemed to be in trouble. However, she broke immediately, once again bringing her ruthless ball striking to the fore under pressure.

She got the job done in the tiebreaker 7-4, and closed it out in the second set. Out of the top five seeds, only Sabalenka finds herself still in the reckoning, with the remaining four being knocked out, with Jasmine Paolini being the latest casualty.

After a tough battle, the 26-year-old will have another tough test, as she takes on Raducanu and the British crowd.

With both players reputed to be heavy ball-strikers, it could eventually come down to limiting the unforced error count and handling their nerve under pressure. These two have met just once before in 2022, at Indian Wells, which the Belarusian won in straight sets.

Match prediction

Raducanu’s first and biggest obstacle, would be to not get overwhelmed by Sabalenka’s fearsome game-play and hitting. The Brit must not allow her to dictate terms and get ahead in the game. Sticking to her own plans and not going passive are crucial to thrive against the World No. 1

For Sabalenka, it will be important to not make too many unforced errors, and take a lead early into the contest. Raducanu’s mental strength would be tested if the Belarusian can break early and get ahead in the game.

However, if Raducanu manages to start well, with the backing of the crowd at Centre Court, things might get challenging for Sabalenka. Either way, a closely fought duel is on the cards, with Sabalenka hoping to stay alive and prevent another massive upset in Wimbledon 2025.

Result: Aryna Sabalenka to win in three sets.
