WTA Madrid Day 4 Predictions Including Mirra Andreeva vs Linda Noskova

Katie Boulter vs Robin Montgomery

Head-to-head: First meeting

Katie Boulter has very little clay experience, but it seemed like she made a quick leap even during Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup tie against France. After getting blown out by Diane Parry, she came back the next day to score a key point over Clara Burel. Still, she remains relatively untested on the surface and is far from one of the strongest seeds here. It might take her a while to get into the match, but after all Robin Montgomery is one of the easier draws she could have received.
Prediction: Boulter in 3

Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Ashlyn Krueger

Head-to-head: First meeting

Ekaterina Alexandrova can be so hot and cold, but she generally enjoys the conditions in Madrid and made the semifinals here two years ago. She’s yet to post a win this clay season and will be desperate to get on the board here. What might help her is that Ashlyn Krueger’s red clay experience is quite limited, but the talented American is not to be underestimated. It’s still a match where Alexandrova will be dealing the cards though and will have it under control as long as she stays within the lines.
Prediction: Alexandrova in 2

Mirra Andreeva vs Linda Noskova

Head-to-head: Noskova 1-0

Mirra Andreeva announced herself on the big stage during this event last year and could really use a run like that again to reaffirm her position as one of the greatest young prospects in the world. You could see that recent months haven’t been going well for her in how nervous she got against Taylor Townsend. She’s facing a fellow future star Linda Noskova here and while the Czech can bring more fire to the table, Andreeva’s defensive assets seem a bit more reliable at the moment.
Prediction: Andreeva in 3
