Command Analysis

Emma Raducanu

Current form
On the eve of the Australian Open, Raducanu did not play a single official match, but this did not prevent her from reaching the third round in Melbourne for the first time in her career. Emma had tough opponents, both matches were tight. First, the British player beat Alexandrova with a score of 7-6, 7-6. Then there was an equally tense match with Anisimova (6-3, 7-5).
Professional qualities
Raducanu has excellent natural skills, a talent that, however, she cannot fully realize. Emma is distinguished by her ability to clearly choose a position, has a good view of the court, anticipates the directions of her opponents' attacks, can consistently work on the back line and find a clear moment for a sharp attack.

At the moment, Raducanu occupies a modest 61st place in the world ranking, although at one time she was the world tenth racket. In Melbourne, until this year, she always made it to the second round and hung up her racket. This time, she managed to break this not very pleasant series.

Current form
In preparation for the Australian Open, Šwiętek played for the national team at the United Cup, where she won four matches, but lost to Cori Gauff in the decisive match (4-6, 4-6). In Melbourne, Iga did not win very confidently at the start, without a crushing score against Siniakova (6-3, 6-4), but after that she easily dealt with Šramkova (6-0, 6-2).
