Emma Raducanu and Bianca Andreescu are going to clash in what will probably be the most exciting first-round match in Miami. The American tennis star Chris Evert is quite thrilled about the matchup between Emma Raducanu and Bianca Andreescu because she anticipates seeing “fireworks” in Miami.
Talking with Eurosport, Chris Evert commented: “When I saw that line-up and that Emma had to play Andreescu, I was like, ‘oh, that’s going to be fireworks’. These are two players that have tremendous potential.
They have won majors, are playing in the first round, are trying to get their game back – trying to get there not only physically, but trying to get that confidence, that champion mentality back and trying to get their game to where they had it when they won majors.”
Then Chris added: “It’s great for the spectators. It’s a big draw. It’s going to be an exciting match. I know I’ll be there to watch it, but it’s a shame for them because they need some easier draws to get matches to regain that confidence.”
