Vondroushova – Raducanu: forecast for the Abu Dhabi WTA match
Marketa Vondroushova will play Emma Raducanu in one of the matches of the first round of the tournament in Abu Dhabi on February 4. The Czech tennis player had to withdraw from the Australian Open due to injury, but she is still the favorite in the bookmaker line today. Will Emma be able to take advantage of her rival's problems? – the answer is in our forecast
Command Analysis
Marketa Vondrousova
Czech RepublicCurrent form
Due to health problems, Vondroushova was forced to finish last season ahead of schedule. At the start of 2025 in Adelaide, Marketa immediately scored a difficult victory over Pavlyuchenkova (6-4, 6-7, 6-2). It seemed that she had solved all her problems, but at the same tournament she withdrew in the second round during the game with Schneider, after which she missed the Australian Open. It is difficult to unequivocally judge how ready the Czech is to perform in Abu Dhabi.
Professional qualities
Vondroushova is left-handed, which creates additional difficulties for many rivals. At the same time, Marketa is distinguished by her versatility, she plays equally successfully on all types of surfaces, she is able to keep the ball well on the back line, and everything is fine with her reception.
Current indicators in the tour
Due to health problems, last season turned out to be a mess for Vondroushova, now she occupies only 37th place in the world ranking, although at one time she rose to sixth place.
Interesting facts for betting
- In Vondroushova's two matches this season, more than nine games were played in the first set.
- I've played three sets in three of the last six matches on the hard Market.
Emma Raducanu
Great BritainCurrent form
Raducanu started immediately at the Australian Open this season and performed very well, making it to the third round. At the same time, it is worth noting that she overcame the resistance of difficult opponents on the grid – defeated Alexandrova (7-6, 7-6) and Anisimova (6-3, 7-5). In the third round, Emma was unable to match Schwentek (1-6, 0-6). Next, the British tennis player had an unsuccessful tournament in Singapore, where she lost to Buksa at the start (7-5, 5-7, 5-7).
Professional qualities
Emma "shot" in 2021, having won the title at the US Open. However, she did not demonstrate such a vivid game in the future. Raducanu has solid shots with both hands, a good first serve, and the ability to play aggressively on the receiving end, but she doesn't always show all her qualities to the fullest right now.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Raducanu has played four matches in the tour, in which she won two and lost twice. In the world ranking, the former tenth racket of the world occupies a modest 56th place.
Interesting facts for betting
- In only one of the four matches since the beginning of the year, Raducanu has exchanged the sets she won with her rivals.
- In three of Emma's four matches, more than nine games were played in the second game.

4.50Tip and bets
The bookmakers are playing the Czech tennis player as the favorite in the upcoming match, which is hard to agree with. Marketa has no serious playing practice due to injury, and she missed the Australian Open. Raducanu performed well in Melbourne, she has no problems with motivation, she feels good in fights against left-handed opponents, she won five of the last seven such fights. We think Emma will definitely have no less chance of reaching the second round today than Marketa.
Our forecast is that Radukan will win with a coefficient of 2.13

Victories are not easy for Raducan, she clearly lacks stability, and more than 20 games were played in successful matches against Alexandrova and Anisimova, which we are waiting for today.
The second bet is a total of more than 21 games in 1.84
Bet on the second set
Since the beginning of the season, Raducanu has played four matches, and in three of them, more than nine games were played in the second game. We are waiting for the tightest fight in this segment of the game today.
The forecast is that the total number of games in the second set is more than 9.5 with a coefficient of 2.19
