Emma Raducanu to Face Karolina Pliskova in First Round of Madrid Open – Watch Live on Sky Sports

Emma Raducanu is set to make her return to the court on Wednesday at the Madrid Open, where she will face off against Karolina Pliskova in the first round. The young Briton has been in impressive form on clay recently, winning four matches in a row last week, including victories over top players like Angelique Kerber.

Raducanu’s run in Stuttgart came to an end in the quarter-finals against world No 1 Iga Swiatek, but she will be looking to bounce back in Madrid. Pliskova, a former world No 1 and two-time Grand Slam finalist, will provide a tough challenge for Raducanu in their upcoming match.

Meanwhile, fellow Brit Katie Boulter has received a first-round bye and could potentially face defending champion Aryna Sabalenka in the third round. Sabalenka has been dominant at the Madrid Open in recent years, winning the title twice in the last three years.

In other news, Elena Rybakina claimed the title in Stuttgart last week, defeating top players like Swiatek and Marta Kostyuk along the way. Rybakina will be looking to continue her winning streak in Madrid as she faces off against either Italy’s Lucia Bronzetti or a qualifier in the second round.
