Reigning US Open champion Emma Raducanu will take on World No. 37 Anhelina Kalinina in the third round of the 2022 Madrid Open on Tuesday.

Raducanu's debut in Madrid has gone according to plan so far, though she momentarily looked to be in trouble during her first-round clash against Tereza Martincova. The teenager had to save a couple of set points en route to winning the opening set, but dominated the rest of the match to win 7-6 (3), 6-0.

Raducanu played a much better match against fellow teenager Marta Kostyuk in the second round. The Brit was at her dominant best as she won 6-2, 6-1 to reach the third round. Despite her relative inexperience on clay, she has adapted quite well to the demands of the surface so far.

Dropping only 3⃣ games!

Anhelina Kalinina has been on a giant-killing spree in Madrid, having knocked out two Grand Slam champions so far.

She defeated 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens in the first round. The Ukrainian led 5-0 in the opening set, but needed to serve four times to clinch it. The second set was more straightforward as she completed a 7-5, 6-3 win.

Kalinina faced two-time Grand Slam champion and former World No. 1 Garbine Muguruza in the second round. The Spaniard was cheered loudly by the home crowd, but that didn't affect the 25-year-old at all as she cruised to a 6-3, 6-0 victory.

She'll now be aiming to win a third consecutive match against a Grand Slam winner.

Emma Raducanu vs Anhelina Kalinina prediction

Emma Raducanu at the 2022 Mutua Madrid Open.

Both players' progression through the tournament has been quite similar so far. A challenging opening-round contest was followed by a dominant second-round win. Neither of them have dropped a set yet.

Kalinina hit 26 winners and 20 unforced errors in her previous match, while Raducanu managed an impressive 14 winners to just five unforced errors. Neither of them lost serve, but the Ukrainian did face six break points.

Heading into this contest, they seem evenly matched, but Kalinina is the more experienced player, especially on clay. She has a solid baseline game and is quite at home on the surface. Kalinina will certainly put more pressure on Raducanu compared to the Brit's previous opponents.

The Ukrainian's serve could lead to her downfall, however, especially given how effective her opponent has been on return.

Raducanu has played some of her best tennis at this year's Madrid Open. She seems more confident in her game and has made a smooth transition to clay. The Brit's serve is working quite well and she's hitting her groundstrokes with precision.

The teenager should be able to withstand her opponent's challenge to progress to the quarterfinals.

Pick: Emma Raducanu to win in three sets.
