Emma Raducanu is set to face Greet Minnen at the Cluj Open, with Raducanu searching for a return to form after recent setbacks. Despite a patchy recent performance, Raducanu's historical success against lower-ranked opponents and Minnen's struggles provide her with a favorable matchup. Minnen has struggled with form and confidence, notably with early exits in previous tournaments. Raducanu, former top 10 player, is looking to capitalize on this opportunity to reset and advance in the tournament.

Raducanu may be short on confidence right now, but this is a matchup she should control. Minnen is not in the form to pose a serious threat, giving Raducanu a chance to reset.

  • She reached the quarterfinal here on her only previous appearance (2021).

Raducanu Seeking Momentum

Emma Raducanu delivered consistent results last year to climb back into the top 30 by season’s end, but late-season injury problems stalled her momentum and she still appears short of full fitness. 

Her 2026 form has been patchy so far, with a loss in her only United Cup match, a Hobart quarterfinal aided by a walkover, and a second-round exit at the Australian Open. 

Following her early Melbourne departure, Emma Raducanu split with coach Francis Roig after six months. Now a top seed at Transylvania Open, she looks to reset at a venue where she reached the quarterfinals in 2021.

Minnen Faces Uphill Task

Greet Minnen has had a difficult start to 2026, failing to qualify for the Australian Open before losing in the first round of an ITF event in Portugal to a player ranked outside the top 300. 

Her 2025 season was uneven. Despite a semifinal run in Austin, she has recorded just one tour-level main-draw win since then, a slump that pushed her out of the top 100. 

This is her third appearance in Cluj-Napoca, with both previous runs ending in first-round exits. Once again, she opens against the top seed, echoing her 2024 challenge against Arantxa Rus.

Verdict

There are still concerns around Raducanu’s sharpness, yet this pairing offers little threat. Minnen lacks the level to capitalize on those weaknesses, leaving Raducanu well placed to control the match and advance.
