Sloane Stephens vs. Martina Trevisan prediction
An exciting encounter is on the cards between Martina Trevisan and Sloane Stephens in the first round of the Madrid Open. Both players will be eager to begin well and make a deep run in the WTA 1000 event.
After her recent title triumph in Rouen, Stephens will enter Madrid high on confidence this year. She has a solid record on clay and will be hoping to continue her rich vein of form. The American is known for her potent serve and accurate groundstrokes, especially off the forehand wing.
Trevisan, on the contrary, has stuck to the task despite being out of form. She won her most recent title in the Morocco Open 2022 and has a superior record on clay as compared to other surfaces. The Italian is known for her top spin-heavy groundstrokes and efficient movement on the tennis court.
Ultimately, the player who adapts to the conditions quickly and begins on the front foot will have the upper hand in this bout. The Madrid crowd can expect a close encounter between the duo in the first round. Trevisan has the pedigree to present a stern challenge to Stephens, but considering their current form and record at the highest level, the American should be able to advance to the second round.
Pick: Sloane Stephens to win in straight sets.
