Iga Swiatek vs Petra Martic – Match Predictions
Contents
Over 17.5 Games
After defeating the 2021 Roland Garros champion, Petra Martic is set to play against the 2020 and 2022 Roland Garros champion. Booking a place in the semi-finals will not be easy as Swiatek is the woman in form but will be jaded after finishing her Round of 16 duel at 1 am. The world number 1 overcame Ekaterina Alexandrova in three sets and Martic will want to test her resolve in their quarter-final meeting. Martic’s win over Barbora Krejcikova saw her need a tiebreaker to force this match. Based on this, we are expecting to see Over 17.5 Games in this duel.
2-1 to Iga Swiatek
The last time these ladies met, it was humbling in straight sets for Petra Martic. The Croatian star is an improved player since. Martic has won eight out of her last 10 meetings with the top 20 players, a significant improvement from her eight-match losing streak against them in 2022. Swiatek has laid waste to everyone who has stood in her path and Martic faces a similar fate. But it will not be as easy as many would expect. With fatigue bound to catch up as Swiatek plays her eighth match on clay, we expect to see a three-set affair in this quarter-final affair.

Swiatek is now in her first Madrid quarterfinal after winning her previous matches against Bernarda Pera and Julia Grabher in straight sets. She has won 44 out of her last 47 matches on clay, including six clay-court titles, making her the youngest player to do so since 2000. Moreover, Swiatek has made at least the semifinal in her last four competitions and in 16 tournaments since the start of 2022.
Petra Martic
Petra Martic secured her place in the quarterfinals after beating Barbora Krejcikova, the 2021 Madrid doubles champion, in a two-hour match. She had to save four set points during the match and won 6-3, 7-6. Petra won all three of her previous matches at the Madrid Open, with her last two games involving either a tiebreak or a deciding set. Despite only having one semifinal above the WTA 500 level, Petra continues to climb the rankings and prove herself as a tough opponent.
