The American has played in the Spanish capital twice in her career and has never overcome the barrier of the first round.

Petra Kvitova

Current form
Kvitova returned to the tour at the end of February after the birth of her child. In the American hardball series, Petra played in three tournaments, but did not win a single victory. At the same time, it cannot be said that everything was completely bad for her: she took sets from her rivals twice, imposed a tight fight on Kenin in Miami (4-6, 5-7). Petra has a start in Madrid, where she has won titles three times in her career, and the local fast ground suits her style of play very well.
Professional qualities
Petra is a southpaw with a powerful and awkward serve. By the way she plays, she relies on powerful punches with both hands, tries to play number one, and often takes risks at the reception.
Current indicators in the tour
Petra has only played three matches this year, in which she has not won a single victory. Due to the fact that she has not played for more than a year, the former world number two is now only in the 946th position in the ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
- In two of the three matches played this year, Kvitova played in three sets.

2.25Tip and bets
In our opinion, the bookmakers underestimate Petra somewhat. Yes, she hasn't won a single victory since returning to the tour, but she's never left the court without a fight, and Kenin forced a tight fight in Miami in the last game. It cannot be said that Volynets is particularly stable, and it does not have the most outstanding season. Even due to a powerful serve, the Czech may well keep a positive head start in games.
Our prediction is that Kvitova will win with a handicap of (+3) games with a coefficient of 2.14
