Day 4 at the ATP Madrid 2025 edition promises to be an action packed day of tennis. As ever, we preview and predict the matches scheduled for you.
ATP Madrid Day 4 Predictions
Jack Draper vs Tallon Griekspoor
Head-to-head – Draper 0-1 Griekspoor
This should be an exciting match. Jack Draper is having a solid 2025 and currently stands at 6th in the world while Tallon Griekspoor has had a lot of wins under his belt this year. They met each other once, almost two years ago, and a lot has changed since. Draper will like to have a good week here to build up momentum for the French Open and while Griekspoor impressed in the first round, expect the Brit to be at his aggressive best and start strong.
Prediction: Draper in 2
Karen Khachanov vs Reilly Opelka
Head-to-head – First Meeting
Karen Khachanov played well last week in Barcelona and that should give him confidence heading into this week. He faces Reilly Opelka, who is under protected ranking, and maybe clay is not his favorite surface to play on. The American relies on his serve but his baseline game is not lacking either. That being said, Khachanov is a solid baseliner and on clay he should be able to create more chances on Opelka’s serve.
Prediction: Khachanov in 3
Kei Nishikori vs Denis Shapovalov
Head-to-head – Nishikori 2-1 Shapovalov
Neither player enters this match with great results in clay court tournaments this year. Kei Nishikori did struggle in his first round match here but the Japanese is highly experienced and he knows these courts very well. He takes on the flamboyant Denis Shapovalov who would love a good week here. Expect Nishikori to absorb Shapovalov’s power well and and counter punch when needed.
Prediction: Nishikori in 3
Grigor Dimitrov vs Nicolas Jarry
Head-to-head – Dimitrov 2-2 Jarry
Grigor Dimitrov had a mixed week in his last clay court tournament in Monte Carlo. He reached the last eight but was double bageled in that match. Lucky for him he faces Nicolas Jarry, a player he beat in that very tournament. Jarry won his first match on clay this week but Dimitrov is a big step up in quality. Expect Jarry’s woes to continue.
Prediction: Dimitrov in 2
