Karolina Pliskova has a date with qualifier Sinja Kraus in the first round at WTA Madrid. This match will be the second in history between the two. Read on for our prediction below.
Pliskova won the only meeting with Kraus back in Cluj-Napoca in 2024. After recovering from injury, she will look to better her season’s highlight when she reached the quarterfinal in Linz.
This is her fifth tournament this year, and she has only lost in the first round once—in Cluj. The former world No. 1 is also a former semi-finalist here but can only hope to match, or better, that 2018 finish as she makes her 10th appearance.
Back in Madrid after a three-year absence, Pliskova starts this round 185th in the live rankings.
Kraus’ journey here started in the qualifying rounds, and she has overcome Martina Trevisan and Anastasia Potapova. She encountered a bit of hardship against Potapova, dropping a set in the process, and will hope to carry the lessons here.
In the main tour so far this season, Kraus has featured in six events but managed to get past the first round just once, in Auckland.
As she makes her debut in Madrid, Kraus will hope to at least win more than one main draw match for only the second time this season. The Austrian is 100th in the live rankings.
