THE PREDICTION

Former number nine Roberto Bautista Agut is desperately struggling to get back in track after a poor 2023 season saw him drop outside the top 100 recently. The 36-year-old has enjoyed a few restorative weeks on clay, beating Facundo Diaz Acosta in Monte-Carlo before a solid run to the last 16 in Barcelona, but he lost to Albert Ramos-Vinolas in qualifying on Tuesday before sneaking through a s lucky loser here. That second wind momentum should see him through this kind enough opener against world number 89 Daniel Elahi Galan but the Colombian should enjoy the high altitude in Madrid that better-represents the clay courts of his homeland more than anywhere else in Europe. 27-year-old Galan has struggled to make any sort of dent on tour so far this season but this is a big chance for both out-of-sorts players to make a run. Back RBA to edge through with a partisan crowd behind him.

TIP: ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT TO WIN
