THE PREDICTION
World number one Iga Swiatek finished runner-up to world number two Aryna Sabalenka at the Madrid Open on Saturday to full establish a new rivalry on the WTA tour. The 21-year-old beat Sabalenka to the Stuttgart Open the week before Madrid to maintain a healthy lead in their head-to-head but she will be relishing the chance to defend not just her Italian Open title this fortnight but her world number one status heading into an increasingly enticing Roland-Garros. Former world number 11 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova conceded just two games to fellow veteran Sara Errani on Wednesday as she continues to rehabilitate to tour life since surgery ended her 2022 season early but this first meeting with Swiatek is clearly several leagues too far right now. Swiatek is the two-time defending champion in Rome and the clear favourite to make it three on the spin in two weeks’ time. Take the Pole to make a statement in a straight-sets result that sees fewer than 16.5 games.
