Anna Bondar vs Elina Svitolina prediction
Anna Bondar booked her place in the second-round of the Madrid Open with a straight-forward win over Viktorija Golubic. The pair exchanged four breaks of serve at the start of the match, but it was total control for Bondar after that point, as she went on to win 6-2 6-3. She has found a bit of form, having reached the quarter-finals of the Open de Rouen last week.
She faces Elina Svitolina next. The Ukrainian continued her consistent form this season in Stuttgart, progressing to the semi-finals. However, she lost in the last four against Karolina Muchova despite taking the match into a deciding set. Nevertheless, it’s been a very strong year for Svitolina up to now, with a title in Auckland and a WTA 1000 final in Dubai.
Svitolina also performed well at this event last year, making the semi-finals. She leads the head-to-head 2-1 and 1-0 on clay. Bondar pulled off a huge shock in their last match, as she defeated Svitolina in the first-round of last year’s US Open, but the world number seven is still a commanding favourite here.
