We have predictions for all of the tennis on Sunday in Madrid and across Europe including the conclusion of the second round at the Madrid Open WTA tournament. Here is your look at matches featuring Victoria Azarenka and Jelena Ostapenko.
Maria Sakkari vs Anett Kontaveit
The pair have split meetings with Kontaveit defeating Sakkari earlier this year in Australia. Kontaveit was a quarterfinalist in Stuttgart and is 14-7 on the season, Sakkari is also a fantastic 14-8, but given the recent win for Kontaveit and the surface, Kontaveit should have the edge between these in-form talents.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Daria Kasatkina
Another form matchup, Kasatkina is 18-6 on the season while Sabalenka is 19-7 and reached the final in Stuttgart. Given the surface and how well Sabalenka is playing on clay she should be the favorite even if this is a tough matchup. Sabalenka in 2
Jelena Ostapenko vs Jennifer Brady
Brady and Ostapenko have split meetings, and both have similar records with 10 wins on the season each. Given the surface Ostapenko should have a bit more confidence here and that should be enough. Ostapenko in 2
Jessica Pegula vs Victoria Azarenka
Pegula, 15-7 on the season, faces Azarenka, a household name, who is just 7-5 on the season. Pegula is not a natural clay courter however and Azarenka finds much more of a home on the surface. This is a tough match to predict but Azarenka should be rounding into form on the European clay. Azarenka in 3
