Raducanu has struggled to make a mark on the tour since winning her first Grand Slam at the US Open last year. Her numerous injuries and sicknesses haven't helped matters either. Following her achievement, the 19-year-old has only made the quarterfinals once in six events. Raducanu's most recent appearance was in Guadalajara last month, where she was forced to quit in the first round due to a hip ailment. However, Raducanu will be playing her first tournament since then. After a decent resting period and recuperation, she is expected to put in a solid performance.
Caroline Garcia, meanwhile, has had a better start to the season than her opponent. Since the conclusion of last year, the 28-year-old has been on a comeback trail. To round out the 2021 season, she reached the quarterfinals of the WTA 125 event in Limoges. However, after making the final eight in Sydney, she went on to lose her first two matches at the Australian Open and the Dubai Tennis Championships. But, Garcia's progress will be aided by a win over Simona Halep in Doha, a tough fight against Coco Gauff, and a run to the semifinals in Lyon. She is playing with confidence and consistency, which makes her somewhat of a dangerous opponent.
