Both the players have played well in recent tournaments and would want to do well in Rome to build up for the French Open. Raducanu has shown that she has a great clay court game with her defensive slices from the baseline while Bianca is a great hitter from the offensive side. Expect a tight match between two young grand slam champions with Emma storming into the second round.

Prediction: Raducanu to win in three sets.
