WTA Madrid Open predictions

Lee Clarke – Let’s go for Coco Gauff. She played alright last week in Stuttgart and looks to be edging back to some kind of form. It’s been too long since the Americans won one of these events and perhaps the wait ends this week.

George Patten – Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek have contested the previous two Madrid Open finals, with last year’s three-set battle considered by many to be the match of the year. With Swiatek struggling for form, like her recent mistake against Jelena Ostapenko, it could well be time for another star to step into the limelight, and who better to do so than Russia’s Mirra Andreeva. The teenager will turn 18 during the tournament, and it wouldn’t come as too much of a surprise to see her pick up a third WTA 1000 title of 2025 at the Madrid Open.

Matthew Johns – My women’s singles champion for the Madrid Open this year has to be Aryna Sabalenka, who won the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix semi-final. She has already won the Madrid title twice before and was only just beaten last year by an incredible performance from Iga Swiatek, who does not appear to be at that same level right now.

Peter Lynch – Jessica Pegula has enjoyed a superb resurgence in recent times, which has involved reaching number three in the world rankings, and I think she is more than capable of another title here.
