THE PREDICTION

World number 41 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova overcame the 11^th seed Jennifer Brady on Tuesday in emphatic fashion just days after stunning the sixth seed Karolina Pliskova in the second round. The 29-year-old Russian looks set for another three-set showdown here in the quarter-finals of the Madrid Masters with world number 20 Karolina Muchova as the Czech is a big-game player full of sudden explosivity. The Czech’s conquests so far include the second seed Naomi Osaka and in-form Maria Sakkari on Tuesday night, both in three sets, and whilst she looks the favourite for this match it would be safer to opt for three sets in what could be a thriller.
