The Cinderella run continues for Moyuka Uchijima of Japan, who will now face a red-hot Elina Svitolina of Ukraine in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open on Wednesday.
Uchijima became a quarterfinalist at a WTA 1000 event for the first time after eliminating Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-4 7-6(5) in the fourth round. Buoyed by her stunning 6-3 6-2 win over world’s No.3 Jessica Pegula, Uchijima was able to oust a third seeded player in Madrid by scoring the big points in the most crucial moments of the match. The Japanese landed only 55 percent of her first serves, but still earned 24 points from them. Uchijima also converted 5 of 10 breakpoint chances on the back of 31 return points.
Svitolina extended her winning streak to 10 games with a clinical 6-3 6-4 win over Maria Sakkari of Greece. After holding 100 percent of her serves against Elena Rybakina, Svitolina served well again as she only gave up two service breaks and captured 31 points out of the 51 first serves. Svitolina, a champion in Rouen, also scored five breakpoints that proved to be the biggest differences in the match.

Our Moyuka Uchijima vs Elina Svitolina Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Moyuka Uchijima falls short of beating Elina Svitolina.
I have got to be honest. I thought Uchijima’s win over Pegula was nothing but a fluke. But once again, the Japanese proved me wrong. Against Svitolina, Uchijima is facing arguably the hottest players on the WTA Tour over the last three weeks. Svitolina enters the quarterfinals parading a 10-match winning streak highlighted by his victory in Rouen. In Madrid, the Ukrainian continued to impose her will as she quickly downed quality players like Elena Rybakina and Maria Sakkari in straight sets. An in-form Uchijima could still be a dangerous foe in the quarterfinal but I still think Svitolina has the tools and experience to figure out the Japanese puzzle. Svitolina will come away with the win in this one, though I have to say Ucjhima at +4.5 Games valued at +105 is a line too good for me to ignore. Our betting prediction for Moyuka Uchijima vs. Elina Svitolina: Moyuka Uchijima +4.5 Games
