Emma starts against Alison Van Uytvanck, a decent player on the surface and would demand the A-game of Raducanu from the first match itself. Hoping Emma moves past the Belgian, she is likely to take on Caroline Garcia followed by another tricky match with the 19th-seeded Madison Keys who can create big problems for the Brit.

7th seed Danielle Collins is expected to await the teenager in the 4th round trying to hold the Brit from advancing into the quarter-finals once again. In the quarter-finals, Emma is most certain to take on 3rd seeded and one of the most in-form players Ons Jabeur, last year’s quarter-finalist, who will be a big threat to the Brit.

Post her clash with Ons, Emma is likely to take on 2nd seeded Anett Kontaveit who will be the final hurdle before she meets the World No. 1 Iga Swiatek in the finals of the Grand Slam. Swiatek had defeated Emma earlier in the season and the finals will be the best place to exact revenge from the Pole and win the 2nd major of her career.
