An engrossing match is on the cards between Vondrousova and Rogers in the second round of the Madrid Open. Both players will be determined to make a significant impact in the WTA 1000 event.

Vondrousova showcased her potential last year by clinching the 2023 Wimbledon Championships. She has a solid record on clay and will be keen to find her best form in Madrid. The Czech is known for her formidable all-around game and patient approach during matches.

Rogers, on the contrary, has struggled to find her A-game on tour in the last 2 years and chalked up her first win 11 months in the 2024 Miami Open. The American has a decent all-around game but will need to improve further to challenge on the main tour.

Ultimately, the player who begins well and isn't afraid to take calculated risks will have the upper hand in this bout. Considering their recent results and record on clay, Vondrousova should be able to advance to the next round.

Pick: Vondrousova to win in straight sets.
