LiontipsAshleigh Barty vs Shelby Rogers. Prediction and Betting Tips for WTA Madrid (April 29, 2021).
Command Analysis
From the very beginning of 2021, Ashleigh Barty confidently confirms the status of World №1. The Australian tennis player has won three titles this season, including her triumph in Stuttgart last week. Ashleigh approaches the start of the Madrid Open in excellent form.
The last time Barty played in Madrid was in 2019 when she reached the quarterfinals. Then Simona Halep did not let the Australian player go further, knocking her out of the tournament (5-7, 5-7). Undoubtedly, this year Ashleigh will not only defend her rating but also try to win the next title.
Shelby Rogers has been making a good impression with her performance and results throughout the season. At the moment, the American player has climbed to 43rd place in the WTA ranking, which is her personal record. She had a great performance in the quarterfinals in Melbourne, as well as in Adelaide and Charleston. Shelby also made it to the 1/8 finals at the Australian Open.
In Madrid, Rogers was unlucky with the tournament draw. Three times in 2021, she played against Ashleigh Barty and she lost all the matches. At the same time, she managed to win two sets against the current best player in the world. But altogether she lost all four matches she had against Barty.
