Emma Raducanu aims to start the Madrid Open on a high note against Maria Lourdes Carle in the first round. Raducanu has enjoyed success on clay this year, winning in Stuttgart and reaching the Billie Jean King Cup quarter-finals. Carle, a rising star from Argentina, won her first WTA 125 title recently. Despite Carle’s experience advantage, Raducanu is the favorite due to her impressive recent form and superior physicality.
