THE PREDICTION

World number 24 Marin Cilic lost in three sets to eventual Estoril Open champion Sebastian Baez last week for a choppy start to his clay swing, although he also took in-form Taylor Fritz to three on the surface in a defeat at the Monte-Carlo Open. The former world number three has an excellent game for all surfaces and the high altitude conditions in Madrid should favour him in this exchange with world number 43 Albert Ramos-Vinolas, who lost in the semi-finals to Baez last week. 34-year-old Ramos-Vinolas is the more comfortable clay-courter but Cilic leads this head-to-head record 6-3 after winning their two most recent meetings last season on hardcourts. The pair are 1-1 on clay meetings but backing Cilic to come through outright in these conditions looks reasonable.
