Mauresmo will be the favourite to nick this quarter final showdown between the pair at Madrid but Szavay wont let it go without a fight. The Hungarian has risen to number 38 in the world rankings this year and definitely seems that her tennis is on the rise. Although Szavay has faced reality in recent weeks by losing to several of the top 10 women in woman's tennis, her form has still been great. As for Mauresmo, I think the peak of her career has gone and in the next few years, she will more or less remain in the 20-30 range.

By looking at Mauresmo's past 6 matches, four of them have been three sets which describes the close intensity and fight that she has been through to overcome her opponents. Szavay has had her fair share of defeats too but I did notice that most of them were three sets losses and I think that it might be the case again today. Mauresmo's extra quality and experience might decide the outcome for the game and hence I will be going for a 2-1 win for the French girl.

Amelie Mauresmo to win 2-1 @ 3.75 with bet365
