Emma Raducanu v Cristina Bucsa Head to Head
Raducanu and Bucsa have never faced off before this.
Raducanu with a Mixed Start to the Season
Emma Raducanu has been known to be injury-prone and her 2025 season looked to have started in an all-too-familiar fashion.
Scheduled to kick-start the season at the Auckland Open, Raducanu suffered a back injury in its lead-up and opted to not risk aggravating it. She withdrew from the competition.
The good news for the British player and former US Open winner was that she recovered in time to not only feature at the Australian Open but also make it to the third round there.
Raducanu overcame two tricky challenges in the form of Ekaterina Alexandrova and Amanda Anisimova to make it through to the round of 32 where she was sent packing by Iga Swiatek. She managed to win just one game in that encounter.
Bucsa Struggles in Australia
While Cristina Bucsa featured in all the three tournaments played in Australia to kick-start her season, she managed only one main draw win in total.
Following a first round defeat at the Brisbane International to Anca Todoni, Bucsa failed to even qualify for the main draw of the Adelaide International as she fell to Katerina Siniakova.
Things turned out to be slightly better for her at the season’s first major where Bucsa managed to earn herself a straight-set win over Chloe Paquet in the opener before Leylah Fernadez ended her run with a hard-fought victory.
Paquet, who was once ranked 58th in the world but has fallen to 110th, will now hope to put up a better showing against her British opponent but her form has been anything but encouraging here.
Raducanu v Bucsa Prediction
While Raducanu has her ups and downs, especially with her fitness, she has shown enough at her season-opener to suggest she could run away with this contest. A straight-set win looks very likely.
