THE PREDICTION

World number 15 Danielle Collins made it 14 wins on the spin with victory over qualifier Olga Danilovic on Friday but she was made to work hard for it, coming back from a set down to edge through 10-8 in the deciding tiebreak. The 30-year-old has played with freedom and bullish expression ever since announcing that she will retire at the end of the season and she has doubled-down on that decision despite since claiming back-to-back WTA titles, including on home soil at the Miami Masters last month for her most prestigious of now four trophies.

Collins' second victory at Charleston earlier this month is serious clay form coming into Madrid but world number 73 Jaqueline Cristian should not be underestimated after claiming the best result of her career on Friday, coming back from a set down to upset 2021 Roland-Garros champion Barbora Krejcikova. The Romanian also enjoyed a huge week in Charleston, reaching the quarter-finals before defeat to eventual runner-up Daria Kasatkina, but back red-hot Collins to improve after her early scare to come through this test.

TIP: DANIELLE COLLINS TO WIN
