THE PREDICTION
World number 46 Amanda Anisimova has all the tools to win the Madrid Open at her best level as a former Roland-Garros semi-finalist who excels on clay but with the powerful groundstrokes and serve that should be supercharged in high altitude. The 21-year-old came close to reaching her career-high WTA world ranking of 21st early last season but she has struggled to impose herself on tournaments so far this year and she takes a three-match losing streak into the first round. World number 107 Arantxa Rus came through qualifying without dropping a set this week and former top 80 player should fancy her chances in this first meeting with an out-of-sorts Anisimova. The American youngster took some time off after a woeful loss to Madison Brengle in Miami last month and that should hopefully see her at least start her clay swing better than she left the hardcourts. Back Anisimova to win outright here despite the fact that she should be coasting through in two.
