"Aside from having the crowd on her side, what can she do?" Isner honest about Raducanu's chances against Sabalenka
In the *Nothing Major Show* podcast aired on YouTube, John Isner didn’t mince words regarding Raducanu’s chances of victory against Sabalenka. According to him, unless the world No. 1 has an off day, the British player has almost no chance of troubling her:
"How will Emma affect Sabalenka? Aside from having the crowd on her side, what can she do? Sabalenka would have to have a bad day and spray balls all over the place. Maybe if it’s very windy like in the Roland-Garros final, but we don’t see Raducanu troubling her too much. That said, I think there are plenty of players who can take the title from her."
The match is scheduled as the last one this Friday on Centre Court. For context, the two players have faced each other only once before, at Indian Wells last year (Sabalenka won 6-3, 7-5).
