Bookmakers shade Cirstea

Bookmakers price Raducanu at 1.92 against Cirstea at 1.75; first-set prices are 1.9 versus 1.76. It's a narrow gap, but it signals a small lean towards Cirstea over the full match and the opening set.

A final shaped by serve protection and workload

Raducanu's better recent return rate on hard courts, at 46% of return games won this season, suggests she can create pressure even when rallies are tight. Yet Cirstea's stronger holding numbers and cleaner recent serving give her a steadier base if games stay close, and Raducanu also comes in with a heavier recent workload at 5 hours 39 minutes across her last three matches. Both have played back-to-back matches, so energy management may quietly influence the big points.

Prediction

Sorana Cirstea

56%
Predicted Winner

Emma Raducanu

Overall indicators tilt slightly towards Sorana Cirstea: the market makes her a narrow favourite and her hard-court season has been built on a stronger hold rate. Emma Raducanu's head-to-head win and higher recent return pressure keep it competitive, but the combination of serve stability and a lighter recent workload gives Cirstea a small edge.
