Katie Boulter against Jasmine Paolini (6) | H2H & Match basics

Katie BoulterThe hard way in Madrid continues when she faces the two-time Grand Slam finalist Jasmine Paolini. The Italia brightened all French when she smiled into the final and did it again with Wimbledon – and is also not a slouch in the hard areas.

Boulter’s campaign became a thrust when she came from behind to win her first main game game on tour level on Clay. After a stelking start to her season thanks to a foot injury, in which she had decided all February from the tour, she would repeat herself well in the Clay Court season and prepare for the grass.

The couple met four times and always shared their heads in head sentences, but this will be their first meeting on Clay.

Prediction: Paolini in straight sets.

Sonay kartal against Elina Svitolina (17) | H2H & Match basics

Sonay kartalThe Madrid debut went well, with a victory at its prelude to straight sets against it Jaqueline Cristian And shows that your under0 radar progress from 2024 was not a flash in the pan. It improves further and is committed to being some of the better WTA tournaments.

She stands in front of a very solid clay court player in Elina SvitolinaBut the Ukrainian has to struggle with the bubble height of Madrid and never managed to do it over the second round.

It is the thinnest window of the opportunity for Kartal because they have never exposed themselves to each other, but Svitolina won the Rouen event last week. Kartal is definitely the outsider here.

Prediction: Svitolina in straight sets.

Emma Raducanu against Marta Kostyuk (24) | H2H & Match basics

Emma Raducanu is the only one of the British in action today, which has promoted Madrid and reached the round of 16 years in their debut in 2022. Marta Kostyuk Came in this run in the same stage in the second round.

Kostyuk can find herself around the dirt, but seems to be of the speed in Madrid again, where she never made it over the second round. Raducanu has already shown her on the square on the square after she had to go back from a break in her two sets against Suzan Listens.

It feels like this can be a much closer affair this time – Raducanu has been strengthened by her solid run in Miami, but still finds her way this season.

Prediction: Raducanu in three sets.
