THE PREDICTION
Home favourite Paula Badosa has come through two very tough three-set encounters with Jill Teichmann, Elina Svitolina’s conqueror, and Ana Sevastova, who defeated Jo Konta. The 23-year-old Spaniard is clearly loving her time in front of crowds at the Madrid Open and she looks an interesting dark horse for the rest of this clay swing, not least as a former Girls’ champion of Roland-Garros. World number 62 Badosa only recently played Belinda Bencic for the first time at last moth’s Charleston Open and beat the Swiss in three sets there so that looks a solid benchmark for a rematch on home soil. Madrid’s eighth seed Bencic was in a battle in her round of 16 clash with Ons Jabeur before the Tunisian had to retire through injury and the world number 11 looks set to struggle against Badosa backed by a boisterous stadium. Take the Spaniard to beat Bencic for a second time in less than a month.
