THE PREDICTION
Former world number three Stan Wawrinka should always be considered a threat on clay as one of only three players not named Rafael Nadal to have won Roland-Garros since the Spaniard took residence in Paris in 2005. The current world number 84 played very well to come back in a tight three-set clash with Maxime Cressy on Wednesday, serving 19 aces to suggest he has taken well to Madrid’s unique conditions at high altitude. World number six Andrey Rublev has reached back-to-back finals on tour after finally breaking his Masters duck with a remarkable campaign at the Monte-Carlo Open two weeks ago but he came unstuck against an inspired Dusan Lajovic at the inaugural Banja Luka Open last Sunday. The 25-year-old put together an excellent eight-match winning streak before that defeat and it is likely that he will recover quickly as he and the rest of the top seeds know how much of a chance they have this fortnight in Nadal and Djokovic’s absence. This could be the match of the day between two hard-grafting battlers but back Rublev to edge it outright as Wawrinka’s age tends to catch up with him after a match like Wednesday’s.
