THE PREDICTION
23-year-old Marina Bassols Ribera enjoyed some strong form on clay on the ITF circuit late last season and she was handed a wildcard to make her debut at the Madrid Open. The Spaniard should receive a small and supportive crowd on Wednesday but this first meeting with former world number 14 Marketa Vondrosuova looks set to be something of a hammering. The current world number 80 came through qualifying as she continues to climb the rankings following a long injury lay-off and she will be thrilled to be back on her favoured clay with her fitness holding up, so far. 23-year-old Vondrousova finished runner-up to Ash Barty at Roland-Garros back in 2019 and she is a threat to anyone on this surface when her body and game find a rhythm. Back the Czech to win in straight sets.
