On the WTA side of things in Madrid on Friday, there are many interesting matches, but our eyes should definitely be drawn to the showdown between Linda Noskova and Emiliana Arango. Noskova is clearly the better player on the rankings, and even though she has not yet played in Madrid and is coming here off the back of a loss, she's expected by the early market to get the job done.
However, up against a decent clay-courter, who has already played in Madrid (and played well), the Czech player may not be as comfortable as the early odds suggest. After all, she recently made hard work of beating a much lower-ranked player on clay, while Arango recently lost by only six games against Mirra Andreeva, so she's worth betting on to, at the very least, lose by no more than a six-game margin.

Our Linda Noskova vs Emiliana Arango Prediction
Realistically, we should expect Linda Noskova to get the better of Emiliana Arango, but should we expect the Czech player to defeat her Colombian opponent as easily as the early odds suggest. Probably not. After all, Arango has had a match to get used to Madrid conditions, while Noskova has not, plus Arango arrives in decent form, and Noskova does not.
When Arango recently faced a top player in Andreeva, she only lost by a six-game margin and could easily do no worse here.
Our Linda Noskova vs Emiliana Arango Pick: Emiliana Arango +6.5 Game Handicap.
