THE PREDICTION
37-year-old Barbora Strycova has won 31 WTA Doubles titles across a long career but just two singles titles, although her best run came just four years ago when she produced a remarkable assault on the draw at Wimbledon before a semi-final exit to runner-up Serena Williams. The Czech comes into the main draw in Madrid on her protected ranking, with her last singles match coming in defeat to Svetlana Kuznetsova in the first round of the Australian Open in 2021, but last time she was here she claimed the doubles title alongside Su-wei Hsieh in 2019. World number 50 Elisabetta Cocciaretto takes a three-match losing streak into the main draw at the Madrid Open and that only adds more uncertainty on this intriguing first meeting. Strycova could start surprisingly strong before fading as many returning veterans have done before and that makes taking Cocciaretto to win outright the sensible call here. Otherwise consider a one-off on the Czech to snatch the first set.
