Emma Raducanu vs Maja Chwalinska preview

Top seed Emma Raducanu will square off against qualifier Maja Chwalinska in the quarterfinals of the Transylvania Open 2026.

Raducanu kicked off her campaign here with a comfortable 6-0, 6-4 win against Greet Minnen. She was up against Kaja Juvan in the second round. It looked as if the Brit would be in it for the long haul after going down 0-5 in the first set.

However, Raducanu was quick to dispel that notion. After losing the first five games of the match, she conceded only one more game for the remainder of the contest to register a 7-5, 6-1 win.

Chwalinska came through the qualifying rounds to book her spot in the main draw of the Transylvania Open. She beat Ana Bogdan 6-3, 6-2 to book a second-round date with seventh seed Olga Danilovic.

Chwalinska dished out a breadstick to take the opening set, only for Danilovic to return the favor with the same scoreline in the second set. Chwalinska found her groove once again in the third set, eventually wrapping up a 6-1, 1-6, 6-2 win.

Emma Raducanu vs Maja Chwalinska prediction

Raducanu overcame a slow start to outplay Juvan in the previous round. She has now advanced to her second quarterfinal of the season, following her previous quarterfinal appearance at last month’s Hobart International.

Competing in the main draw of a tournament for the first time this year, Chwalinska has now advanced to her maiden quarterfinal at the WTA level. She will aim to attain a new milestone for herself by winning three consecutive main draw matches for the first time in her career.

However, with a 3-7 career record against top 100 players, Chwalinska will be a massive underdog in this contest. This is most likely to be another routine win for Raducanu this week.

Pick: Emma Raducanu to win in straight sets.
