Zizou Bergs vs Marin Cilic prediction
Marin Cilic will bid for just a second win of the year on clay when he meets Zizou Bergs for the second time.
The Croatian world number 51 has yet to hit form on his least favoured surface statistically speaking but will be keen to maintain his upward trajectory and get back inside the top 50.
Bergs, who won their maiden showdown in the Davis Cup in a deciding set in 2024, has picked up three wins on the dirt so far and is also on the rise at 44.
The Belgian will be determined to try and surpass his previous best of 39 in the world, but it’s tough to rule our Marin in faster conditions in Madrid and we lean towards him or both players taking a set.
