Iga Swiatek vs Petra Martic Prediction: Cruising Iga in another Quarter-Finals

The French Open isn’t far away and tournaments like Madrid Open play a huge role in determining the rhythm. There have been numerous three-set matches in the tournament and this means more thrilling matches are on the way. However, there is no thrill when one has to face Iga Swiatek and in this Quarter-Final game, Swiatek will take on Petra Martic.

Swiatek was given all she could handle by Ekaterina Alexandrova and won the game 6-4, 6-7, 6-3. During this game, Ekaterina nailed five Aces but in the end, Swiatek had a slim two-point service points edge (61-59). In terms of the return game, Iga chipped out a 38-25 receiving points advantage. After winning the first two games in two sets, Iga had to face a tough three-set battle. However, this is to be expected on the clay surface. At any rate, Swiatek looks primed to enter the Final once again.

Petra enters the match after defeating Barbora Krejcikova 6-3, 7-6 in another close game for her. Petra had a great service game and she picked up a decisive 50-38 service points advantage while her return game was on point too as she pinched out a 35-31 receiving points edge. Petra survived a three-set battle against Anna Kalinskaya during the Round of 32 and during the Round of 64, she had to win a first set tiebreaker against Laura Siegmund and won in two sets. Can the 32-year-old finally make a deep run?

Petra and Iga have met once before which was during the 2021 Indian Wells Masters where Iga won in two sets.

Iga has been the best player for a long time and she continues to make deep runs like she is doing an easy practice routine. Thus, she will be favored again despite being tested by Ekaterina Alexandrova. Anyway, I expect Swiatek to win in two sets here to continue her endless top form.
