THE PREDICTION
World number 99 Zhizhen Zhang claimed a couple of results on US clay this month at Challenger events but the Chinese number two is yet to win a tour-level match this season. The 26-year-old enjoyed a run to the quarter-finals of the indoor hardcourt Napoli Cup last October but no wins at this level since suggests he is the underdog in this first meeting with Jurij Rodionov. World number 119 Rodionov beat a tough clay-courter in Daniel Altmaier to qualify for the main draw in Madrid and two qualifying wins under his belt should give him the edge in this contest with the high altitude making for some unique conditions to have to acclimatise to. Back the 23-year-old to earn at least a set as the likelier of the two to come through or back him to win outright outside of an accumulator.
