Emma Raducanu vs Karolina Pliskova

It’s not every day an ex-world No. 1 and a Grand Slam champion share a court in round one, but that is the welcome gift fans will receive as they arrive at the Caja M?gica. Emma Raducanu is looking to capitalise on her performance a few days ago when she piled the pressure on Iga Swiatek on clay. The biggest name in British tennis will have her reflexes tested in a frightening opener in Madrid, where she will be put to the test by Karolina Pliskova’s huge serve. The Czech player, the WTA Tour’s queen of aces for many years, will find the perfect stage in Madrid to unleash her most devastating weapon. If you are a lover of contrasting styles between two top players, this is a fantastic option like few others in the first round of the tournament.

Final on now - Auger-Aliassime v Rublev.

Swiatek won the women?s.

[JAMES4578]

FAA took the first but Rublev wore him down in the end 4-6,7-5,7-5. some quality tennis though pity it ended on a Double. Earlier Medvedev and Lehecka retired in their matches and Sinner had to pull out of his quarter!


A tight one between Swiatek and Sabalenka.
