THE PREDICTION

World number seven Marketa Vondrousova enjoyed a welcome return to form at the Stuttgart Open last week, upsetting second seed Aryna Sabalenka from a set down before running out of steam against Marta Kostyuk in the semi-finals. The 24-year-old also beat Donna Vekic and Anastasia Potapova last week to bring some excellent clay results into Madrid but it remains to be seen how she fares after announcing that is going through a divorce. Former number 30 Shelby Rogers handed Shuai Zhang her 20th defeat in a row on Wednesday, making three tournaments in a row in which she has won her opening match. The 31-year-old’s latest return from injury looks an agonisingly long road, ranked as she is currently at 352nd, but there are at least signs of encouragement after a poor start in January. Vondrousova should have far too much for the American in these conditions but straight sets seems a risk given her off-court concerns. Take Vondrousova to win outright or leave this match be.

TIP: MARKETA VONDROUSOVA TO WIN
