Andreeva vs Starodubtseva Prediction 28 April 2025

Mirra made a strong start in Madrid, securing two clean victories. She didn't drop a set against Bouzkova and also defeated Frech 2-0 in the round of 32. Her opponents were far from easy, much more experienced than Andreeva. However, Mirra has improved physically, boasts a powerful serve, and her tennis IQ is top-notch. Andreeva is adept at adapting to her opponent's game and disrupting their strategies. For her, the world's 99th-ranked player is unlikely to be seen as an equal opponent. The bookmakers seem to agree, offering odds of 7 for Starodubtseva's victory.

Starodubtseva began her journey in Madrid from the qualifiers, where she had a tough time overcoming French players Piquet and Jacquet. However, things got easier as she secured a 2-0 victory over Fruhvirtova and then defeated Italy's Cocciaretto. In the round of 32, she faced a grueling two-and-a-half-hour match against Samsonova. A tiebreak in the second set and a bagel in the third enabled Starodubtseva to mount a comeback, despite being doubted after the first set. Three errors from Samsonova in the final set allowed the Ukrainian player to wrap up the match in just half an hour and advance to the next round.
