We have another great line up in Madrid as all top players will compete for the title.
We shouldn’t have many surprises in the first round. We have a couple of interesting matches as Sloane Stephens will take on Daniela Hantuchova, Caroline Wozniacki will play Shedova andMArion VBartoli will face Elena Vesnina.
