THE PREDICTION
World number one Iga Swiatek needed three sets to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova on Monday but the Pole should be better for an early test at the Madrid Open as she aims for a first title here. The 21-year-old is clearly the best player on clay on the WTA tour as the reigning champion from Roland-Garros, where she won her first of now three Grand Slams back in 2020, and she takes a seven-match winning streak on the surface into the quarter-finals after defending her Stuttgart Open title two weeks ago at world number two Aryna Sabalenka’s expense for a second year running. World number 33 Petra Martic should not be underestimated on her favoured clay, though, as a straight-sets upset over former Roland-Garros champion Barbora Krejcijkova on Monday attests to. The 32-year-old has a really engaging, disruptive playstyle well capable of shocking some the top players on tour but probably not the very best. Swiatek conceded just four games to the Croat in their only previous encounter at Indian Wells two years ago and she is a much improved player now. Back the Pole to assert her dominance in two here.
