The Grass season is still going on and we still have some tournaments to look forward to this season. The Eastbourne international is one of the tournaments to watch out for in the WTA scene. There are some great matches on the cards and we all have been looking forward to seeing them as well.

The match we are looking into is between World number 5 Jessica Pegula who is fresh from her victory in Berlin and Emma Raducanu who is a former US Open champion. Raducanu has had a great start to the tournament with a win in round 1 where she beat Sloane Stephens in two straight sets. Though we know that Pegula is right now the in-form player in this tournament, we cannot take a player like Raducanu for granted at all.

Head-to-Head

There are not a lot of matches played between these two at all. The last time these two were seen playing against each other was 2-years ago in Cincinnati, where it was Pegula who got the better of Emma Raducanu. There has been a two-year gap between these players and it will be interesting to see how they will perform on the day. This will be a match filled with a lot of expectations from each player going forward.

Prediction

looking at the predictions of this match it is clear that Pegula is the absolute favourite to win this match being one of the highest-seeded players. Pegula is ahead in stats and the odds since the last game against Raducanu ended in a win and she will have a lot of confidence after Berlin. Overall, this seems like a game where the Americans will get the better of an inconsistent Raducanu on the day.
