Iga Swiatek will look to continue her dominance against Sara Sorribes Tormo.

The three-time Roland Garros champion Iga Swiatek advanced through to the ongoing Madrid Open 2024 round of 16 on Saturday following her straight sets over Sorana Cirstea. The top-seeded Polish tennis star took only one hour and 18 minutes to beat Romania’s Sorana Cirstea by 6-1, 6-1 on her preferred surface.

Last year’s Madrid Open’s runner-up, Swiatek, will lock horns with home-favourite Sara Sorribes Tormo on Monday for a place in the quarterfinals. Notably, Swiatek outclassed China’s Wang Xiyu by 6-1, 6-4 to commence her campaign in the WTA 1000 tournament.

On the other hand, Sara Sorribes Tormo ousted Bernarda Pera in the opening round of the 2024 Madrid Open. Thereafter, the Spaniard defeated 16th-seeded Elina Svitolina in her second match by 6-3, 7-5 to mark her presence in the round of 32. In her next match, she went on to beat two-time major champion Victoria Azarenka in the third round.

Iga Swiatek vs Sara Sorribes Tormo preview

WTA World No. #1, Iga Swiatek, would look to cash in her fabulous form to reach the quarterfinals of the tournament. Swiatek, who lost the last year’s final against the second seeded Aryana Sabalenka, is eyeing her maiden title at the Madrid Open and wouldn’t want any discrepancy against world number #55 Sara Sorribes Tormo.

Known for her furious aces and clever drop shots, the Pole continued her ruthless approach thus far in the tournament as she outclassed Cirstea in a one-sided match with a 12-2 game difference.

However, the pole would not take her Round of 16 opponent, Sara Sorribes Tormo, lightly, as the Spanish player looked fierce in her previous tie at the 2024 Madrid Open.

Prediction

As the head-to-head record suggests, Iga has dominated against Sara Sorribes Tormo. So far, out of five, Iga has won two WTA 1000 tournaments this season. Iga and Sara will have their fourth meeting in less than a year. The star tennis player had won her last two matches in straight sets and would look to continue her dominating display on clay.

Sara would be confident after her win over world number 26 Belarusian Victoria Azarenka, in her last tie. However, it won’t be as easy as her last tie, as she will face world number one and the “queen of clay” in the next round. She would also like to open her winning account against Iga Swiatek. On the other hand, the Polish star has been the best player on the clay court for the last couple of years. And she won’t hesitate to continue her dominance over the home favourite, Sara Sorribes Tormo.

Result: Iga Swiatek to win in straight sets.
