Emma Raducanu vs Suzan Lamens prediction
Emma Raducanu has a 2-2 win-loss record in Madrid. She reached the third round of the event in 2023, when she defeated Marta Kostyuk in the second round and then lost to another Ukrainian Anhelina Kainina in the third round.
Clay is not her favorite surface so Raducanu might need some time to adjust on the surface. She has never gone beyond the quarterfinals stage of any tournament on clay court. She reached the quarterfinals of the 2022 and 2024 Stuttgart Open and lost to Iga Swiatek on both occasions.
Suzan Lamens is making her main draw debut at the Madrid Open, but she will be hoping to continue her good form on the clay. She has a 5-1 win-loss record on the surface this season.
Lamens won a WTA Challenger title, Oeiras Ladies Open on clay last season and she also earned her only top 10 win against Jelena Ostapenko on clay in 2024 Billie Jean King Cup.
The Dutch player could have the advantage since she has been doing great on clay, whereas Raducanu will be playing on the surface for the first time in a while.
Pick: Suzan Lamens to win in three sets
