Peyton Stearns will tussle with Kimberly Birrell in Tuesday's first round of the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open.

Stearns will be playing in her first clay-court tournament in Europe after crashing out in the first round of the 2025 Charleston Open three weeks ago, losing to Ajla Tomljanovic 6-1 6-4. Stearns has lost five of her last six matches, but the clay-court season offers her a chance to turn things around and get some solid results.

Birrell is another player searching for a breakout run after repeatedly coming short in every tournament she competed this season. The Aussie reached the second round of the Miami Open and posted a 6-1 6-3 win over Colombian Yuliana Lizarazo in the Billie Jean King Cup playoffs.

Our Peyton Stearns vs Kimberly Birrell Prediction

Fearless Forecast: Kimberly Birrell flourishes on clay, defeats Peyton Stearns.

Birrell has a losing record on clay at 20-26. However, I still like the Aussie chance against the skidding Stearns, who is 1-5 in her last six matches. Despite her shortcomings, Birrell has steadily put up a solid WTA season campaign with 21 wins this year. Stearns may have a 61 percent career win rate on clay, but her slump is big enough of a red flag to dissuade bettors from going all in on her at -220. I would rather risk betting on Birrell because of a handsome payout +170 than losing $220 by betting on out-of-form Stearns. Our betting prediction for Kimberly Birrell vs. Peyton Stearns: Kimberly Birrell will win.
