THE PREDICTION

World number 71 Alize Cornet may well be preparing to say farewell to life as a tennis professional at Roland-Garros next month but she will be eager to improve on her 2023 form before doing so after a woeful start to the season. The former number 11 snapped a seven-match losing streak stretching back to the Jasmin Open final last October with a much-needed win at the Charleston Open earlier this month and she looked immediately better in a three-set defeat to Anna Kalinskaya afterwards. World number 158 Elena-Gabriela Ruse qualified well to make the main draw in Madrid, snapping a very poor run of four defeats under tour-level. The 25-year-old claimed her maiden WTA title at the Hamburg Open on her favoured clay back in 2021 but she has struggled since returning from surgery late last season. Back Cornet to edge this outright to boost some confidence.
