Jovic vs Raducanu Head-to-Head Record
This will be the first meeting between these two players. Jovic has enjoyed a strong start to the grass-court swing, defeating Antonia Ružić and Alexandra Eala comfortably before upsetting Anisimova in three sets.
Jovic converted 6 break-point opportunities against Anisimova and kept things clean, making just 15 unforced errors. She has won 26 of her 38 matches so far this year, and this will be her fourth semifinal of 2026.
Raducanu defeated the in-form Cîrstea in the Round of 16 before surviving an injury scare to claim a 6-3, 7-5 win over Rakhimova.
The Brit took a fall during the match and appeared to injure her thigh. She had to take a medical time-out, but returned to see out the win. She converted 5 of 7 break-point opportunities and looked confident on her returns, which bodes well for her going into Wimbledon.
Raducanu’s win-loss record for 2026 reads 10-9, with a run to the final at the Transylvania Open her best result. She arrived at Queen’s Club on a three-match losing streak, but has found her groove on home soil and has yet to drop a set at the HSBC Championships.
Jovic vs Raducanu Prediction and Pick
Jovic played on Friday and will be the fresher of the two players. It also remains to be seen whether Raducanu will be at full fitness after going through a grueling match earlier on Saturday.
The 18-year-old’s style of play is also well-suited to grass courts. Her flat ball-striking, early-swing ability, and aggressive baseline play make her dangerous on slick surfaces.
Raducanu has enjoyed an impressive run at Queen’s Club, building momentum and confidence. She will look to spring a surprise against Jovic, but it will require her to deliver a near-perfect performance.
The American will be less fatigued and is also in the midst of a more impressive year. We are backing Jovic to prevail in this intriguing semifinal.
Pick – Jovic in straight sets.
