WTA Seoul Day 2 Predictions: Can Raducanu Continue Her Momentum?
The WTA Seoul tournament continues with Day 2, featuring players aiming to finish the season strong. The hard courts favor clean ball-striking, demanding consistency and adaptability. The opening round includes exciting matchups between seasoned tour players and local contenders, with a few potentially surprising outcomes.
Suzan Lamens vs Tatjana Maria
Head-to-Head: Lamens 1–1 Maria
Suzan Lamens evened the head-to-head against Tatjana Maria in the Billie Jean King Cup. However, she hasn't maintained significant momentum. Maria, despite her struggles, reached the Guadalajara quarterfinals recently. The match is less about past results and more about current confidence.
Prediction: Lamens in 3
Jaqueline Cristian vs Emma Raducanu
Head-to-Head: first meeting
Jaqueline Cristian has had a consistent season, showing strength against similar-ranked players. Emma Raducanu is playing her best tennis in years, highlighted by her U.S. Open win. This first-time matchup hinges on adaptability and Raducanu's upward trajectory.
Prediction: Raducanu in 2
Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Dayeon Back
Head-to-Head: first meeting
Beatriz Haddad Maia's 2025 season has been inconsistent, but her strong U.S. Open performance showcased her abilities. Her powerful lefty forehand is a weapon on hard courts. Dayeon Back has performed well at lower levels and enjoys home support. A slow start from Haddad Maia could make this match competitive.
Prediction: Haddad Maia in 2
