1st meeting. Grass win %’s favour Raducanu.

Vekic lost in the 1st round last season. This week, she lost in the qual rounds. 2 sets win in the 1st round. 2 sets win over Bouzkova in the 2nd round. 3 sets win over Pliskova in the q final as underdog. Easy win over Boulter in the semi final.

3rd Round at Wimbledon 2025.

12 month grass stats favour Vekic on serve. Return stats are much better for Raducanu.
Raducanu struggled a little against Rakhimova in the q final. She raised her game against Jovic who wasn’t 100% and had an early mto.
Vekic was superb on serve against Boulter who suffered a let down after her performance against Rybakina in the previous round.
2 matches yesterday for Raducanu will affect her energy level today. if Vekic continues to serve well, she has the edge.
Lay Raducanu around 1.45 and remove liability at 1.90. Good chance of 3 sets.

Match prediction: Vekic in 3 sets.
