Eugenie Bouchard vs Martina Trevisan preview
Eugenie Bouchard will take on 18th seed Martina Trevisan in the second round of the Madrid Open.
Bouchard entered the qualifiers of the WTA 1000 event and won her opening match against Sara Sorribes Tormo, who was forced to retire when she was trailing 6-1, 4-1. She then faced Elizabeth Mandlik and beat her 6-3, 6-2 to reach the main draw in Madrid for the first time since 2017.
Bouchard faced Dayana Yastremska in the first round of the tournament and the latter won the opening set 7-6(6). However, the Canadian roared back into the match and won the next two sets 6-2, 6-2 to book her place in the second round.
Martina Trevisan has won just six out of 16 matches so far this season, with her most notable performance being reaching the quarterfinals of the Miami Open, where she beat Nao Hibino, Claire Liu and Jelena Ostapenko before being thrashed 6-3, 6-0 by eventual runner-up Elena Rybakina.
The Italian started her clay-court season at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, where she was forced to retire in her first-round match against Beatriz Haddad Maia due to injury.

Eugenie Bouchard vs Martina Trevisan prediction
Trevisan will enter the match as the favorite to win given her high ranking and recent form. It wasn't too long before the Italian reached the quarterfinals of the Miami Open and she is capable of doing well in Madrid.
Clay is Trevisan's best surface and she will look to make the most out of her topspin-heavy forehand. The 29-year-old has a serve decent enough to make it hard for opponents to return.
Bouchard loves to hit her shots with immense power and will look to be aggressive from the start of the match. While Trevisan hasn't been the most consistent competitor over the past 10 months, the Canadian will still have to be at her best if she is to come out on top.
The Italian should be able to get the better of Bouchard considering her relatively better clay-court prowess and reach the third round of the Madrid Open.
Pick: Trevisan to win in straight sets.
