2019 US Open champion, Bianca Andreescu and 2021 US Open champion, Emma Raducanu will meet already in the first round of the 2022 Italian Open as both players had a very similar career paths.
Both Emma Raducanu and Bianca Andreescu lifted their first Grand Slam trophy at the US Open while being teenagers and also, they are both troubled by injuries quite often. While the young Brit is trying to find her form following the slow start of the season, her more experienced colleague from the Tour is coming back after months of not playing.
"I've thought about the parallels, but I don't go crazy. It's just a really weird coincidence. I watched her win the US Open, and I was really happy for her because I won it basically around her age. Obviously she was playing a Canadian, so that was really nice too. She's a really great player, so I'm expecting a really good match. I remember saying, I want to play her - and it looks like I got my wish."
