THE LOWDOWN
DARIA KASATKINA
World number 23 Daria Kasatkina came back from a set down to stun the fourth seed Maria Sakkari on Monday in one of her best results for some time. The former world number 10 won her first WTA title on clay at the 2017 Charleston Open and after a few years in the wilderness she won two further titles last season at the Philip Island Trophy and St. Petersburg Open.
SARA SORRIBES TORMO
World number 47 Sara Sorribes Tormo claimed one of the biggest results of her career in a comprehensive victory over Naomi Osaka on Sunday. The 25-year-old will not care that clay is Osaka’s biggest weakness after also knocking out last season’s Roland-Garros runner-up Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the first round and she should enjoy a bigger crowd on Tuesday as the last female Spaniard in the draw.
THE PREDICTION
This is the first meeting at tour level between Sara Sorribes Tormo and Daria Kasatkina with both players probably at their best on the clay. The high altitude conditions in Madrid favours the harder hitters on tour and that should lean towards Kasatkina here with Sorribes Tormo more of a hard-grafter on court. However, the confidence that beating two top players in Pavlyuchenkova and Osaka should bring to the Spaniard and the partisan atmosphere she will enjoy on Manolo Santana suggests backing her to win at least a set is the sensible pick here, leaving the winner up to chance. Both of Kasatkina’s matches have seen three sets this week.
