Brittany Gilbert+FollowAndreeva Eyes Madrid Upset StreakMirra Andreeva, the teenage sensation, is set to face Magdalena Frech in a Madrid round of 32 showdown. Andreeva’s solid win over Bouzkova showed she’s tough to break on clay, and her previous victory over Frech gives her the mental edge. Unless the Pole brings something special, Andreeva’s higher ceiling should see her through. Anyone else think Frech can pull off a surprise, or is this Andreeva’s match to lose? #WTAMadrid #Andreeva #TennisTalk #ClayCourt #Sports31Share
Nicole Baxter+FollowSwiatek vs Noskova: Rivalry Heating Up?Day 5 in Madrid brings another chapter in the Swiatek-Noskova saga! Even though Iga leads 5-1, their matches are always tight—remember those Miami and Billie Jean King Cup battles? Noskova brings the fire every time, and with Iga looking shaky lately, could we see an upset on the quick clay? My gut says Swiatek survives, but Noskova’s power patches will make it a thriller. Who’s your pick? #WTAMadrid #Swiatek #Noskova #TennisRivalry #Sports00Share
Nicholas Henderson+FollowCan Mertens Break Sabalenka’s Streak?Sabalenka—aka the Queen of Madrid Clay—faces Mertens for the 12th time, holding a dominant 9-2 record and eight straight wins. Mertens is known for her backhand, but does she have enough firepower to finally upset the world No. 1 on her favorite surface? If Mertens pulls this off, it’d be one of the season’s biggest shocks. Who’s backing the underdog here, or is Sabalenka just too strong? #WTAMadrid #Sabalenka #Mertens #TennisRivalry #UpsetAlert #Sports50Share
Stephen Herrera+FollowAlexandrova vs Kasatkina: Who Wins the Rematch?The WTA Madrid Open is heating up with a must-watch rivalry: Alexandrova vs Kasatkina. These two have traded wins since 2019, but Alexandrova’s current hot streak (two straight semis!) makes her the bookies’ favorite. Still, Kasatkina’s no stranger to tough surfaces and could push this to three sets. I’m leaning Alexandrova 2-1 for the best value, but Kasatkina fans—convince me otherwise! Who’s your pick for this high-stakes rematch? #WTAMadrid #Alexandrova #Kasatkina #TennisRivalry #MadridOpen #Sports00Share
