Iga Swiatek vs Petra Martic: World No.1 Iga Swiatek‘s quarter-final match at the 2024 Madrid Open is against No. 27 Petra Martic on Wednesday (May 3).
Swiatek overcame 16th-seeded Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-4, 6-7 (7), 6-3 in the fourth round taking 2 hours and 25 minutes to win, becoming the first player to reach the quarterfinal at eight consecutive clay-court tournaments since Simona Halep (2016-2019). In that match against Alexandrova, the Pole dropped her first set of the tournament.
She started her Madrid Open campaign with a thumping victory over Julia Grabher 6-3, 6-2. Notably, this quarterfinals in Madrid also happens to be the 21-year-old’s first time. And also, it’s the 44th clay-court win since the start of 2020. This year, she has already clinched two titles.
The Croatian player, Petra Martic, knocked out Barbora Krejcikova, Anna Kalinskaya, and Laura Siegemund in the previous rounds to reach the quarterfinals. She is still searching for his first trophy this season. Also Read: Carlos Alcaraz Vs Alexander Zverev Match Prediction, Head-To-Head, Preview, And Live Stream | Madrid Open

Iga Swiatek vs Petra Martic predictions
The Pole has a solid serve and an aggressive return of serve and is quite a fierce player from the baseline. But her forehand is her greatest strength and on the back of this, she keeps dominating her opponents. She keeps the rallies short and earns quick points, helping her turn more forcefully almost every time.
The 32-year-old Patra Martic has powerful groundstrokes and serves and she uses her forehand and backhand when the need arises. She has the ability to achieve points with drop shots and smash winners by disrupting the baseline rallies. But consistency has been an issue for her in recent times.
Swiatek was knocked out by Ashleigh Barty in her only Madrid Open Masters in 2021 in the Round of 16. A shoulder injury made her withdraw from last year’s tournament but this year, one can say she is the player of the moment in women’s tennis, and on clay, she turns more aggressive, having won the French Open title twice.
Prediction: Swiatek in three sets.
