WTA Madrid Day 3 Predictions
Victoria Azarenka vs Tatjana Maria
Head-to-head: Azarenka 1-0 Maria
Azarenka has been playing very well lately, narrowly losing in the quarterfinal to Jessica Pegula at her last tournament in Charleston. But Maria’s style is not one Azarenka enjoys playing against, with the Belarusian thriving most when she gets a consistent pace from her opponents. Maria’s slices and heavy spins could cause her some trouble, especially on clay, which is Azarenka’s least favourite surface. Overall, Azarenka’s overall class should still have enough to overcome that challenge, but it could be a tight contest.
Prediction: Azarenka in 3
