Emma Raducanu v Moyuka Uchijima Head to Head
Their only previous meeting came in Seoul in 2022 and Raducanu had won that contest.
Raducanu Continues to Struggle for Form
Emma Raducanu comes into this tournament with some off-court troubles which highlighted the kind of problems that women’s tennis players have to endure even at this day and age.
On the other hand Raducanu is also struggling to make any waves on the courts too.
This year, the Briton started off the season at the Australian Open following an injury scare before that. She made the third round there before Iga Swiatek dropped just a game in getting the better of her.
Following that, Raducanu has won just one match from four tournaments, with Cristina Bucsa, Marketa Vondrousova and Karolina Muchova having beaten her already.
Raducanu now enters the tournament with a third round appearance here last year.

Uchijima at Her Career-Best
While Moyuka Uchijima hasn’t set the courts on fire with her tennis, she has been consistently nibbling away at the wins here and there.
That has included a first round victory at the Australian Open, a few qualifying wins in various tournaments and then another opening win in Dubai where she shocked Jelena Ostapenko.
Uchijima is coming off a first round defeat at the hands of Anna Blinkova at Austin after having grabbed the first set and has been involved in eight, three-set matches of the 16 she has played this season at various levels.
This will be her Indian Wells Open debut and she will give herself a chance against a player who has been a bit up and down in the season.
Raducanu v Uchijima Predictions
While Raducanu starts off a favourite on paper, we could see an even contest we feel. Uchijima’s fighting qualities could take this to the third set.
