We asked AI to predict the winner of Iga Swiatek vs Emma Raducanu Australian Open 2025 3R match: Here's what it had to say

Iga Swiatek and Emma Raducanu will lock horns in a battle between Major champions in the third round of the Australian Open 2025 on Saturday (January 18). Neither player has lost a set so far. The Pole began her campaign with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Katerina Siniakova, and demolished Rebecca Sramkova 6-0, 6-2 in the second round.

Raducanu sneaked past Ekaterina Alexandrova with a 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2) win in the opening round, and beat Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 7-5 in the second round. She has now reached the third round here for the first time in her career. With two of the sport's most recognizable names set to duke it out, excitement levels are through the roof.

We popped a quick question to AI about the outcome of this showdown, and Google's Gemini AI was quick to side with Swiatek. ChatGPT didn't predict the winner and instead outlined each player's biggest strengths.

Raducanu missed the first tournament of the new season due to an injury but appears to have recovered perfectly. Swiatek, meanwhile, appears to be playing with a newfound sense of freedom and ease that was missing from her game for the last few months. With the WTA's two biggest names set to collide on one of the biggest stages in the sport, this match will be a treat to witness.

Emma Raducanu will be hoping that she's finally able to get the better of Iga Swiatek on her fourth attempt. The latter has won all three of their matches so far, that too in straight sets. The Pole's first win came at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix 2022 in Stuttgart.

Swiatek followed this up with her second win at the Indian Wells Open a year later and won for the third time in Stuttgart last year. However, all of those matches took place in conditions that favor the Pole- slow hardcourts and clay. With the Australian Open courts leaning towards the faster side, Raducanu will hope to do some damage.

Swiatek was stunned by Linda Noskova in the third round of the Melbourne Major last year. Raducanu will aim to do the same as well, though it's easier said than done.

The five-time Major champion is one of the most consistent players on the tour, and beating her is one of the toughest challenges in the sport right now. However, the Brit has shown that at her best, she's ready to take down anyone in her path, and will aim to channel the same energy that led her to the US Open title in 2021.
