17th seed Elina Svitolina faces unseeded Sonay Kartal in the outdoor clay court Madrid Open. This is a second round match and the winner will take on either tenth seed Elena Rybakina or unseeded Bianca Andreescu next. Here's our match prediction.
Svitolina is the world number 17 and a place higher in the WTA Live Race. All seven of her clay court matches this year have been won. The weekend saw her beat Olga Danilovic to win the Open de Rouen. Before that the 30-year-old won two matches in the Billie Jean King Cup on this surface.
The Ukrainian has won seven WTA Tour clay court titles but has never made it past round two in this WTA 1000 tournament.
Sonay Kartal has won a couple of ITF events on this surface. The British player is up to a career-high 54th in the live rankings after her first round win in Madrid. That saw her defeat Jaqueline Cristian in straight sets.
While Svitolina won the Rouen title, Kartal was beaten in the first round. Before that though she had also won two Billie Jean King Cup matches on this surface. This is going to be tough for her and we tip Eliina Svitolina to win this in straight sets.
