Elena Rybakina vs Emma Raducanu prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: US Open 2025

Elena Rybakina-Emma Raducanu had paired up previously for the Washington Open women’s doubles.

Emma Raducanu’s return to winning ways at the US Open has rekindled memories of her remarkable 2021 triumph, when the Brit captured her maiden major title. Since then, however, she has endured a challenging period, going two full seasons without a WTA title and suffering multiple opening-round exits.

The 2025 Miami Open marked a turning point, sparking renewed confidence and consistency in the 22-year-old’s game. Raducanu has delivered her most stable season yet, pushing top seeds to the limit—most notably Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon and Cincinnati.

With strong runs in Washington and commanding straight-set victories to open her US Open campaign, she has re-emerged as a formidable unseeded contender at the season’s final Grand Slam.

Preview

Elena Rybakina reached the semi-finals at each of the three North-American events, hoping for much better returns at US Open this year. For a player who is known to be a hard ball-striker and ruthless on court, Rybakina has for some reason strangely never thrived at the US Open Championships.

The Kazakh is yet to progress beyond the second round at the event, but is coming on the back of some confidence boosting outings. She has crushed two rising stars, including a staggering turnaround from 2-5 down in the second set of the second round.

Rybakina will now face her Washington doubles partner, Raducanu to reach the round of 16 clash. Both are good friends on tour, and understand each others game styles having played briefly together. Their only duel took place in 2022 at Sydney, with the Kazakh crusing to a 6-0 6-1 victory.

Match prediction

Undoubtedly, this is a blockbuster contest. Rybakina and Raducanu are poised to deliver a high-quality showdown, with both players entering in excellent form. The Kazakh will look to land her first serves consistently, as she becomes a real menace when her serving is on point. However, her forehand and backhand accuracy—and tendency for unforced errors—can sometimes be unpredictable.

Neither player has spent extended hours on court in New York so far, ensuring they arrive fresh for this clash. Raducanu will need to capitalize on her aces and winners, forcing Rybakina into errors and disrupting her rhythm. If both find their top level, fans could be treated to a thrilling encounter.

Rybakina will aim to take the opening set, given her tendency to slow down after a grueling start. On the other hand, if Raducanu edges a tight first set, she may well carry the momentum to victory in a deciding third. Either way, this battle promises to go the distance, testing not just the physical endurance but also the mental resilience of both players.

Result: Elena Rybakina to win in three sets.
