Head-to-head statistics Svitolina - Sakkari
Elina Svitolina Player Overview
The reigning champion of Rouen is gearing up to once again showcase her top-tier clay court tennis. Elina Svitolina truly excels on this surface and has been performing impressively. In Madrid, she has already dispatched two opponents without dropping a single set. While the Ukrainian was a clear favorite against Britain's Kartal and faced no issues, her match against Elena Rybakina seemed less straightforward at the outset. However, Svitolina managed to defeat the world number 11 in under an hour and a half. Elina is displaying tennis of a very high caliber, making it challenging for anyone to compete with her at this stage.

Maria Sakkari Player Overview
Since the Olympic Games in Paris, Sakkari has not managed to win two consecutive matches. The former world No. 3 made a decisive move by reinstating her former coach. Tom Hill's return quickly paid off as Sakkari won three matches in a row in Madrid, advancing to the round of 16. This is a significant achievement for the Greek player. In the round of 32, she defeated the world No. 6, Paolini, suggesting that Sakkari might be on her way back to her previous top-tier form.

Editor's Prediction
It's unlikely that Tom Hill will immediately turn Sakkari into a champion; for now, the Greek tennis player needs to work her way back into the top-20 of the world rankings, a process that will take the entire season and require gradual improvement. However, in Madrid, she's already showcased her full potential, and Svitolina will be her ultimate challenge here. Elina is in excellent form and particularly strong on clay this season. Our bet is on Svitolina -3.5 handicap.
