Command Analysis
Naomi Osaka
JapanAfter the final of Miami tournament Naomi Osaka took a long break. She is not so great on clay courts, so there were some concerns about her start at Madrid tournament. Especially after she got Anastasia Potapova as the first round opponent.
However, in the match against Russian player Naomi proved that she gained wonderful form for Madrid tournament. Osaka won the match pretty easily (6:3, 6:1). Her first serve was probably the only weak spot in her performance - she hit only 47% of shots. However, it didn't prevent her from getting a comfortable victory.
Sara Sorribes Tormo
SpainSorribes Tormo is not so successful at the capital of her homeland. Spanish player prefers a defensive style of play and it is not a great fit for fast Madrid surface.
In the first round Sorribes Tormo played against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who has been without a match practice for a long time due to an injury. However, Sorribes Tormo experienced some serious problems even despite opponent's dreadful form (6:3, 2:6, 6:3). Spanish player put up a disappointing serving performance, she lost six games at her serve to Pavlyuchenkova.
