THE PREDICTION
World number 152 Elena-Gabriela Ruse conceded just one game to Linda Fruhvirtova on Wednesday to back up some recent signs of recovery at the Madrid Open. The Romanian won her maiden WTA title at the Hamburg Open two years ago, one of two finals reached back-to-back on clay that summer, but she has struggled to find that intensity since – with a hand injury halting much of her progress last summer. World number 15 Beatriz Haddad-Maia suffered an early exit to 16-year-old sensation Mirra Andreeva at this stage of the Madrid Open but she stayed on to win the Women’s Doubles alongside Victoria Azarenka to bring more confidence into Rome. The Brazilian should be strong enough to win this first encounter in straight sets but Ruse is a player capable of much better tennis than her ranking suggests once she finds some rhythm. Back Haddad-Maia to win outright inside an accumulator or in straight sets on its own.
